Guppies have a wide diet and mainly eat the following types of food:
Animal baits: Guppies prefer to eat daphnia, paramecium, brine shrimp, tubifex worms, fresh fish worms and various insects, such as midges, chironomids, mosquitoes, dipterans, homopterans and hemipterans. Newly born guppies can eat crushed cooked egg yolks or brine shrimp, which is beneficial for their digestion and absorption and supplementing nutrition.
Plant baits: After reaching adulthood, guppies can also eat a little spinach, pumpkin, cucumber, lettuce, duckweed, azolla pinnata, green algae and other vegetarian foods to supplement vitamins and enhance immunity.
Fish feed: Guppies one month old can start eating fish feed. The nutrition is relatively comprehensive and it is not easy to affect the water quality.
In addition, when feeding guppies, attention should be paid to the diversity and hygiene of food and avoid overfeeding to keep the water clean and thus ensure the health of guppies.
