Guppy fry

Hi guys.
What do I feed my guppy fry. I got them in a holding tank, about a half a dozen or so. I am currently feeding them gold fish pellets/granules the stuff tetra makes.
Is that ok and how much do I feed them.
How do I do a water change with out the little guys getting sucked up:embarrest:
Thank you:embarassed:
Forgot to mention they three days old.

 

Boil egg hard. Mash the yolk and let a little dissolve in the water. feed 5 to 6 times a day if possible or as often as you can. 10% daily water changes. Do the vacuuming carefully in case one of the dudes get sucked up. Oh and congrats

 

For the mean time use the egg tactic.
Just go get yourself a tetra babymin flakes.
Add a little pinch every so often. It will spread
On the surface and I'f you have a filter it will circulate
In the water.
The reason I say this is egg yolk fouls the water too quickly
And smells bad when it happens. It also builds up a funny
Layer of slime which also stinks. A bottle of babymin will last
Easily 8 months. Iv been having guppy fry since December till now.
Just brought another bottle 2 weeks ago, to be on standby.
Hope this helps

 

Thank you guys

 

@Nick.s - You can also get Interpet liquifry No2. I use a combo of this and Ocean Free Super Baby. Check your bucket before tipping the water down the drain in case you have sucked someone up. Maybe look at getting a small gravel siphon that has a debris/gravel guard. Good luck and enjoy :bigsmile:

 

You can also feed them ordinary good quality tropical flake. Put a pinch into a bank baggie and grind it up to a fine powder between your fingers. I've raised many live bearers on that, including endlers which are minute when "just borne".

You can buy spaghetti tubing from any irrigation shop/co-op... I use that to do water changes. Cheap and easy!

Congrats and good luck!
