Completely agree with a varied diet for guppies. I used a coffee grinder to grind up flake, pellets, and freeze dried foods which I mixed with repashy powder and tiny golden pearls and put it in a ketchup squeeze bottle for the fry. The adults love it too.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Thanks sound like a great idea!

[@markbass7102]

i am having coffee with crunchy peanut butter on toast and watching you my friend

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@DonziGT230]

Thanks. I'm new to guppies and it seemed like every video aimed at beginner fish keepers warned about over feeding to an extreme. They'd say stuff like "whatever you think they need, cut that to less than half." Not being convinced I started to do what you say, feed a bit and wait, then again, etc. I finally found where they slow down so I try to stay just shy of that slow down point and eventually they end up eating the stuff that fell to the bottom.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Glad to help

[@TheBudgetAquarist]

Good video as always. I also feed my guppies a ton of different stuff. I love how nuts they go for frozen blood worms. Really makes them breed when they have a good variety of food and lots of it! Speaking of plecos too, I was just given an adult long-fin albino female by a guy at a crazy LFS store I just found. If you get bored and have 20 minutes, check out the video that will be up today. This guys is running a store LITERALLY out of his house with a variance granted by the county. Its an amazing story of entrepreneurship.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

I if I have time? Lol I’ll try to check it!

[@TheBudgetAquarist]

@@MichaelsFishRoom Yeah dude...I know you are a busy guy...I am too, so I get it. See ya next video.

[@MasterBlakeYT]

The reason I came to watch this is because I have tropical flakes as my main food, but I also have baby shrimp and dead blood worms as treats. But I noticed that they can barely eat the shrimp or blood worms, so I cut them up, and they can still barely eat the shrimp. But they can eat the worms. But after like 25-30 minutes of being beat up, the shrimp will be soft and small enough for them to eat

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Sound like you need some better commercial food.

Hey Mike, I feed a flake food from D. Grey and also his powder food for my fry. I also feed the Cobalt Guppy pellets from Super Cichlids, API bottom feeder they go nuts for, frozen brine shrimp and some zucchini and peas once a week.

You are fast becoming my favourite channel as literally no bs and you introduced me to French toast. 😉 They do love green beans, in fact they get through them quicker the my bristle nose Plecco can get to them, lol! Question, is it true you can feed them thin sliced ham? I read it in an article on the British Livebarers Acciation website forum but it just seems an odd thing to feed them.? 🤔

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

I’ve never heard of that, but maybe. I’m not sure I would try it. Too many chemicals.

[@Micegift]

Michael's Fish Room Thanks for that as I couldn’t imagine chopping up slices of ham bought from Walmart and dropping it in the tank. Each to their own I suppose?

[@douglaslee6055]

Am I the only one who soaks (NLS) pellets before I feed it to my guppies. IDK how people just drops it in bc it takes a 30 sec or min to soften up enough for my fish to eat it. I do this with pretty much all dried food.

[@lilybeaumont683]

Right now my fish are on a mix of seachem nutridiet ..tropical cobalt.. tropical Aquarian ..top fin crumbles.. wardley and different size bug bites ..frozen twice a week and a no feed day apart from fry tanks..I mix most of the food up in a container...some days I just give them the one food...next month I will add different foods apart from bug bites and Aquarian which all the fish love..the guppies also love tetra pleco wafers...I love a fry up..but it would be boring having it every day so it must be the same for fish..

[@justinpaoli]

I notice my guppies' health difference when not feeding a varied diet. I don't usually trust an all nutrition in one miracle pellet or flake. Ah pepper mill. Why didn't I think of that. I'm sitting here using a mortal and pestle like a schmuck

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Lol...old school! Just like people, a varied diet is the way to go.

[@lilwigglesandleaves]

Hey there, just found your channel loved the video! My favorite fish by far are guppies I have a few and I'm feeding tetramin tropical flakes, freeze dried blood worms and fluval bug bites tropical. Problem I'm having is the freeze dried worms are too large how would you recommend crushing it with buying a bunch of fancy stuff. TIA!

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Welcome! Put them in a blender? Chop them by hand? TBH, I don't feed any of those foods, I like other brands. Hope it works out for you!

How often do you feed them? That dude in Israel feeds all day and his Guppies are big and healthy. Believe it or not but I filter a 30 gallon tank with an Odyssea 700 and a Magnum 350 with Biowheels, choked down of course, and was feeding twice a day but have increased to three times a day. Man those Guppies stay hungry. So I ordered your recommended foods so we'll see what happens. PS: I haven't bought a guppy in years- it's a breeding frenzy in there.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

I feed 3-5 times a day. Good luck!

Hey Mike, I have a question. We have a 100 gallon tank with 15 ( only male ) guppies 10 rasbora's,10 kardinal tetra's, 10 corydora's, 5 khuli loaches, 2 hillstream loaches and some neocaridina shrimp ( about 50 ). In the morning between 9 and 10 when the light is still out they get some flake's about the bottom of a thee spoon covered. In the evening they get some frozen food arthemia ( brine shrimp ?) or bloodworms ( about 2.5 grams ) and 3 times a week half a tablet of sperulina goes in. The only problem is when the guppies start to get older (like 9 or 10 months old) they start getting a belly. Is there anything we can do about this? Just feeding less is not so easy because the corydora's get no food nor do the kardinals get anything.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

What do you mean "a belly"?

[@sannick11]

@@MichaelsFishRoom Thanks for the fast responds. I posted a small video ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGLGo4J4bbqMj80 ).

I got some new guppies in. They are my first ever. The one male and female are eating some. But the other female isn’t eating much and just seems to want to hide. Both look possibly early pregnancy.

Yes plentiful. Multi rock cave thing she’s in most and 5 leafy plants . She comes out more late evenings. But she’s not coming out for food when I feed has me nervous. :/
