With Guppies 10 minutes is probably enough. 2 days should be plenty but there is no reason to take them back out, they should all do fine together.

Good luck, Mike

i think your supposed to keep them in there untill the gravid spot grows dark on the females.. that way you know their pregnant if your doing selective line breeding
