A high level of protein, fat and carbohydrates will allow your guppy fry grow bigger and faster. Adult are also love consuming brine shrimp. Brine shrimp can be cultured at home, indoors with ease. I use a brine shrimp hatchery kit purchased from Amazon years ago, to hatch brine shrimp eggs.
While brine shrimps eggs needs days to hatch, I recommend keeping multiple hatcheries running at once, if you want to feed your fish with live food every day. Egg yolk is one of the most common foods that hobbyist fish keepers prepare at home. Egg yolk provides a lot of fat to your fish, so adult should not be feed with it in high quantities. The egg yolk is a great source of protein and also includes sodium potassium, and Vitamins such as A, C, D, B and minerals such as calcium, Iron and Magnesium.
Egg yolk is a complex food for baby guppy fish. The yolk of a hard-boiled egg should be crushed up into a paste and feed to your fish in low quantities. Do not overfeed with this food, because it can highly pollute water. Beef heart is another super-food that is feed often to guppies.
Once the beef heart is cleaned of fat and chopped into very small pieces with a blender or a sharp knife, it can be feed to your fry guppies.
It can be mixed with hard-boiled egg yolk, carrots, spirulina powder, shrimp and other ingredients for better results. It is not recommended to be feed to adults due to high fat. Daphnia can be purchased as freeze-dried from stores; however, the big majority of fish keepers who feed daphnia are having their own live culture.
Daphnia is relatively easy to culture at home. They require hours of light and they feed on algae, yeast and bacteria. Culturing daphnia indoor might be difficult, because of the smell.
So keep that in mind if you want to culture daphnia in your home. Daphnia is a great source of protein, carbohydrates and fat. It also provides a great amount of vitamins A and D, which is vital to guppies and all fish. Vinegar eels can also be cultured at home.
I usually have 3 or 4 cultures running at once, in case one is crashed. Although they are easy to culture, harvesting them is a more complicated process. The strong smell of vinegar is another downside of culturing vinegar eels indoors. Guppies can eat a variety of food that includes both animal and plant products.
Guppies are omnivores, and in the wild, they eat plant matter, insect larvae, algae and the remains of dead plants and other animals.

Did you know that guppies are notorious parents? Adult guppies may, in fact, even feed on their offspring. Hence, baby guppies, also known as fry, are removed from the adults soon after birth and kept separately until they are big and strong. Fortunately, taking care of baby guppies is easy. With proper water conditions, varied food, and adequate light, they will grow quickly into healthy adults.
Baby guppies have different feeding needs from adults. Here is what you must know about feeding them. Guppy fry have tiny mouths. As they are in a growing phase, they also have high protein requirements. A daily feed of good quality, high-protein flake food will help the babies to grow quickly. It is a good idea to crush flakes with your fingers and scatter it over a wide area. You can also feed guppy babies baby brine shrimp, vinegar eels, and micro worms.
Avoid feeding adult brine shrimp, since they cannot digest it just yet. Guppy fry also like vegetables like boiled spinach and chopped lettuce. They graze on algae. So, keep the fry in tanks having algae growth, and they will not be hungry. Finely chopped beef heart and hard-boiled egg yolk are superfoods that you can prepare at home for guppy babies.
When feeding baby guppies, supply tiny amounts of food several times a day. However, reduce the supply if you notice the tank turning cloudy or dirty despite often changing the water. As far as possible, try to stick to the same feeding schedule every day. This is best for their overall development.
Where guppies are concerned, you should neither feed them too much nor too little. Give them a diet with multiple sources of food from animal and plant sources, and they will thrive.
