If your fry will take them, crushed flakes shaken HARD in a 1/4 filled water bottle poured through a 1-2' long section of cpvc will absolutely keep the fry happy. (A tiny pinch - 16/th tsp or less in a shot glass of tank water works great to concentrate the food. 1.5oz to a shot. 
) (Gently pour more tank water through afterwards to flush the nutrients out.) . It'll also acclimate them to the prepared food you intend to feed them. ^_^

Hi there. Long time guppy breeder here. You can basically crush any flake into powder (or almost powder) like state and feed them that. Guppies are not very picky eaters. For the first couple weeks, I tend to feed them 3 times a week at a very little amount and since I have my fry in a 5 gal, I do 30% water change every week. As for selling them, you can probably start selling them at around 1-1.5cm. Some will start showing color by then, depending on strain. my red snakeskins usually start showing at a bigger size than my tuxedos.
Justy FYI, once they start they won't stop breeding lol. I find 5-15 fry in my mating tank literally every week (i'm sure more but some of them get eaten if they aren't smart enough to hide in the plants).
