I have kept my fry with the parents with good luck but there is no promises as some will kill and eat if they feel pressure
may be better to send him on to other folks unless we are talking about show quality. In which case buy another tank

It helps if you have some plants for the fry to hide in. Plastic or real, it doesn't matter.

If you do put them in with the others, keep them well fed so as to try to minimize attacks due to hunger.

Quick! Get yourself some acrylic yarn, a book, and some corks.
Time to make some spawning mops!
They are often used by killie breeders, but are great for livebearers as well.

You can also use old 35mm film canisters for floats, if you can find them.

I have a handful of 35mm canisters I'd be hapy to share. And speaking of guppy fry, I found MORE when I was moving rocks around yesterday to plant the new val. Those little suckers are PRODUCTIVE.

There is something in nature protecting bigger fish from competition of survival, consequently your one month old baby fish will newer grow as good as separated and also fry survivability in 10 gal aquarium are very limited.
