guppy fry born 5/19/12 what should i feed help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I used to use liquid fry food that I bought at my lfs
then again, I only ever had like, 5 fry to care for at a time, due to my inability to transfer the female to a separate tank before she gave birth and me being able to only find so many lol

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).

Just re-read my post. I meant to say "3 times a DAY" not week lol.

u should feed them 4-5 times a day for the first month and i think about 2 and a half months is what i have seen or u could go longer and sell for a higher price. that is just what i have seen this is also my first guppy spawn. maybe some one else has some more impute on this matter
