Yes. If it fits, its lunch. I once and a goldfish and catfish eat all the cichlid fry (which are bigger than guppy fry) that got under a divider.

If you don't have another tank get a breeder net to hang into the tank and transfer the guppy fry into there. I think all of the fish in your tank would snack on a few guppy fry so I would get the breeding net ASAP
