What size tank are they in? Exactly what and how many fish are there in the tank? Are they having the babies now, or just pregnant?
Also, is this the same tank the dying glassfish and crabs have been in?

If you really want to save the fry you need to have another tank to raise them in, and I'd move the moms to that when they are about to drop, removing them as they have the fry. However, with that many moms-to-be I would just let nature take its course and let most of the fry get eaten. It may sound s bit cruel, but they'll make a nice, safe treat for bigger fish, and if you saved them all they would quickly overstock your tank and put all your fish at risk. Some will survive if you have a lot of cover (floating plants, real or fake, are perfect), and you can let them grow and then rehome them as necessary.

| NO guppy fry and a delicacy to fish if eaten, it gives them free food (I know it's sad), nutrition, and deliciousness
