A female guppy that isn't pregnant is a rare thing :wink:

They can drop fry every 4 - 6 weeks. Transferring her to a breeding trap may cause her to abort. Better to leave her in the main tank with lots of floating fine leaved plants for the fry to hide in.

A female guppy can store sperm for many months and have several broods without being anywhere near a male.

As long as they are big enough to do the job the current males can impregnate her (but she will already have stored sperm from the previous male(s).

Keep her in the main tank then. Java moss is ideal for the fry to hide in
