Guppies can be fed three times a day, preferably at the time of three meals a day. The fry can be fed four times a day, or three times a day if there is no time, but it should be fed regularly and quantitatively. Guppies do not need to be fed too much, and the food can be eaten in five to ten minutes at a time. It is better to feed the artificial feed and live baits together, and the live baits can be selected from earthworms, shrimp, red worms, mealworms, etc.
