Baby guppies need to be fed a high-energy and protein diet for optimum growth. Here are some recommended foods for baby guppies:

Flakes: Flakes are the most commonly used food for both newborn and adult guppies and are easily available at any local pet food store. Look for flakes that are labeled as providing all of the necessary nutrients for baby livebearing fish.
-
Bloodworms: Baby guppies love the taste of bloodworms, so they’ll gobble them right up. Look for dried blood worms at your local pet store or online.
-
Baby brine shrimp: Baby brine shrimp is one of the most convenient and also convenient ways to develop brine shrimp at home on your own and then feed it to your guppies.
-
Microworms: Microworms are another live food option for baby guppies.
-
Daphnia: Daphnia is a type of small crustacean that can be fed to baby guppies.

Egg yolk paste: Egg yolk paste is an excellent food for newborn guppies due to its high amount of proteins. To feed yolk to young guppies, boil the egg completely after separating it from the yolk. Then, make a lump-free paste of the boiled yolk and add it to your fish aquarium.
Its best to give baby guppies a mixture of fresh and dry food, if possible. Feed them every 2-3 hours for the first 6 weeks, and then decrease feedings to every 4-5 hours, which will be 3-4 times per day. Make sure to read the label on the fish food to ensure youre feeding the fish in the right quantity.
