I wouldnt turn the filter off.... you need it running to keep your tank healthy! Besides, I've had lots of guppy fry (they breed like rabbits!! ) and never lost any to a filter!
I dont feed them any differently to the rest of the tank... they seem happy with flake food (i usually try to break it up, but i dont put that much effort into that either! ).
