powerfeeding guppy fry

[JeninOK]

I have a trade in deal with my LFS for my guppies, which I am stoked about since he has a couple of lovely large clown loaches I am craving

But I have to grow them large enough not to swim through the slats in his display tanks and guppies are painfully slow growers.

So what can I powerfeed them with to increase their growth rate??

food, hmm I was thinking of feeding them shredded tires, thanks for clearing that up!

I read the link, thanks so much, I will increase their feeding to 4 or 5 times a day and add some brine shrimp, they won't eat the frozen daphnia and bloodworms are much too big.

its better to feed them more meals in a day than one big meal

Keep the water conditions up too!

Temp! Warm temps increase metabolism/growth!

how warm is warm? I keep my big tank at 78-79 for the loaches to ward off ick, and my others all sit at 75-76
