How Long Before I Stop Feeding My Fry "fry Liquid Food"

[Joshua30]

I have 18 baby guppy fry and I went out and bought them FRY LIQUID FOOD, how long before I feed them one meal a day? and only flakes...

This is what I do so far

7:00am - feed guppy fry liquid food
7:00pm - feed tropical fish flakes.


How long before I only feed flakes? once a day?

they dont need liquid fry food. they will take powdered fish flakes right from the start.
should be fed small amounts 3 times a day.

if you want them to develop faster and with more intense coloring, then feed them freshly hatched brine shrimp.

but yea, liquid foods like liquifry are a wast of money.

Yep, as above. They will also like microworms, but unless you have a culture going anyway I wouldn't bother.

I would not go so far as to say liquid fry food is a waste of money. Some fry have a hard time with even powdered flakes at first. I give my guppy fry liquid fry food and bbs for the first week before giving them powdered flakes.

That is true, I'd say, depending on the age of the fry, you should start feeding them crushed flakes.
