I am using Nutrifin Tropical Flakes and I grind them up to almost a powder but my guppies don't seem to eat very much of it. They hover at the bottom to try and get floaty bits off the bottom feeder pellets but I'm not sure they are getting enough to eat.

Any suggestions for food that guppies love?

Wow, it's been forever since I've posted!

I feed my Guppies TetraFin Tropical Flakes twice daily (flakes are crushed so they are bite size). They also get some crushed freeze-dried Bloodworms and some Sun-Dried Baby Shrimp 2-3 times a week as a treat

My little guys are just as happy as can be (especially days they get those treats).

I feed King British flake food but I also feed brine shrimp,daphnia and bloodworm and all my fish love the varied diet.

my guppies love eating algae (especially brown algae), for 2 weeks after they went into my planted tank they refused to eat anything else . I think that they finally got tired of only eating algae and they finally got back to eating their bloodworms and TetraMin Tropical Flakes.

LoL I forgot about that! I see little markings in the brown algae where my guppies have been picking at it as well. I usually see them lurking around areas with algae in the tank at night before their dinner LoL

i tried crishing the flakes for my guppies to make it easier for them to eat but they wouldnt touch them at the next feeding i fed them larger flakes and they went away at them and then i feed them crushed krill(i crush it b/c it is too big) anout 2-3 times a week.

Thanks guys. The blood worms etc, are they the dried variety or frozen?

My daninos in another tank love the brown algae too but there is no algae in the guppy tank due to the bristlenoses.

The bloodworms I feed mine are freeze-dried. I have tried feeding them frozen, but they don't seem to care for them that way. The shrimp I give them is sun-dried.

hey Annette, i feed my guppies mainly on aquarian 'crushed flakes'. they love 'em. they also get freeze dried blood worms as a treat now and again. they also seem to love the herbivorous flakes... but i dont have any other fish that will touch them

Ok, now I have a shopping list to treat my guppies. Tink, herbivorous flakes??? like spirulina?

um, i dont know what you guys can get, but over here we have flakes made out of algae and stuff um.. ill see if i can find it

okies, this isnt the one i use - but you get the jist

I feed my guppies TetraMin Pro Tropical Crisps

I haven't seen those tropical crisps but they sound yummy. Tinks I have something similar to those flakes, it's Tetra Spirulinia Flakes, I just put some in the tank and the guppies are loving them.

I feed mine the cheapo wardley tropical flakes and my guppies go nuts for them but I'm going to switch to something better when these flakes run out, I'm just not confident that the nutrition is good. I just dump a big pinch in and they go at it. My snails eat whatever they don't.

Wardley is an ok brand isn't it? Anyway, if the fish love it that's half the battle but it still would be nice to feed some of the treats others have mentioned now and again.

I had some Bio-Blend Tropical Crisps that came in a tiny sample packet along with my 5 gallon tank. My guppies won't touch them at all. I've tried a few times but they don't care for them at all LoL They didn't like the Wardley flakes I used to have either so I ended up giving that food to a friend. My guppies like the Tetra brand flakes though LoL

I think a lot depends on what the guppies are fed in the pet store, they get used to it.
