First time having guppies

Hi there!!
This is my first time having fishes as pets. I just got three Guppies to start but the Female already got Guppy babies!!! They are a lot like 13 of them

. The first thing I did was to separate the babies from the adults but I want to change the water where the Guppy babies are, does anyone know if I can do so? if so, how? I hope I can take care of them because from the three adults one of them died, I didn't know why; I went out and then come back home I found a dead fish

Please help!!! thanks

YOu dont have to change water for babies too often, or they may died faster...just feed them and remove the waste if any , i usually suck them out and pour some new water to the tank...good luck!

Thank you for your help, but it is a little bit late because I already change the water and 2 baby guppies died. But it's ok!! now I know for next time.

you need to separate them because the mother will eat the baby. Normally guppies can breed up to 40 -60 babies. My guppy normally will breed around
40 - 50 babies. Since I used under gravel I leave the babies with same than
because they can hidden under the gravel.
