Edit: I just looked up some pictures of wild guppies and mine look nothing like them... the guy at the LFS said the feeder fish were mosquito fish, guppies, and dannios mixed together... so I looked up mosquito fish and they look exactly like them. :p They eat the same things as guppies, right? -_-
 
Bloodworms are good I have frozen and freeze dried, veg flakes,algae tablets,river strimp,brimestrimp,daphnia,krill,tubliex freeze dried,peas,broc,savoy cabbage and many other things, a good varied diet gets them in tip top condition.
 
Frozen blood worms and brine shrimp are easy too find usually :D If you wanted too know all they COuLD eat I could find literally hundreds for you .......
 
You can get mosquito fish to eat flakes pretty easily but it will take a little time if they have never had dry food before. A lot of mosquito fish feeders are just netted from ponds and rivers so they are not used to dry food. I found some mosquito fish (Gambusia holbrooki) in with the feeder fish at my LFS and bought them. It has taken a few weeks but they are readily taking dry food now. Good luck with yours!
