My guppie gave birth last night when I was having dinner. I bet she ate around 20 fry and I only managed to save 7. I Have crushed up tropical fish flakes into a powder but none of the are eating it. I have them in a quarantine tank. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO! please help.
 
Have some plants in the tank and crumble flake food into a powder like you have been doing. Feed them several times per day with powder food.

As long as the water is clean and warm, the fry will eat anything small.

Microworms are another food you can culture for the babies. See following link.

If you go near a pet shop you can buy some dry brineshrimp eggs and hatch them in salt water, then feed the baby shrimp (called nauplii) to the baby guppies. The following link has directions on how to hatch and feed brineshrimp eggs.
