same as guppies...
seperate the babies, put them into a breeding net, or provide tons of hiding spaces in the tank.
I prefer a breeding net, then its easier to feed. Feed them crushed flakes or Hikaris First Bites.

You can put momma in there to have the babies but she will need to be removed so she doesnt eat them once they are born

Most likely he did not get stuck in the filter. He was probably weak, ill or dead and got pulled into the tube. Any healthy fish (even fry) have the strength to swim away from the liftertubes when healthy.
