Is there any live food that I can make at home for my 4 week guppy fry?

Since they're too big for infusoria, I suggest mosquito babies. Most people have some sort of water outside that's been sitting there too long, like dog bowls, trash cans that have been rained on, just puddles of water collected everywhere. If you don't have any place that already has mosquito larvae in the water, put a bucket full of water outside and let it sit in one spot, especially in a shady area. After a couple of weeks you'll have a bucket of fish food. Just make sure you don't let the mosquito larvae grow up and turn into mosquitoes. These are amazing first bites for tropical fish. I feed my platies this (who are related to the guppy) and they love it.

This next suggestion is also homemade but you'll have to buy the eggs. Those Grow Your Own Sea Monkey things are just tiny bug things, most of the time they're just little kits that kids like to play with, like grow your own crystals and crap like that. You can usually find the sea monkeys at Toys R Us and I think Wal Mart sells them too. You dump the little bag of eggs into water and after a couple of days little tiny specks start swimming around and about a day later you can see them pretty clearly but they're still small. Just dump a package of those babes in the fry tank and you should have a pretty interesting feast on your hands.

My youngster swordtails absolutely rather love blanched peas! Take a couple of frozen peas, thaw them below sizzling tap water for a couple of minutes or stick them in the microwave for five-10 seconds. Allow them to cool, then peel off the dermis. Cut up them in 1/2, and drop a few portions into your tank. In my opinion I like to squish them a little bit, which makes it less difficult for my little guys to grab little chunks of it of their tiny mouths. My fish also love algae-wafers (the variety offered at pet meals shops). Slices of zucchini squash and cucumber are additionally pretty just right, primarily after a few days of feeding "meaty meals" like bloodworms, tubifex worms, brine shrimp or earthworms. Meaty meals can motive constipation, and all fish benefit from a different weight loss plan in case one nutrient or different is missing out of your normal food. Even my vegetarian pleco (whose food regimen is by and large algae) sucks up just a little of little one brine shrimp and tubifex worms, and he does love these flakes! If your babies are quite tiny (newborns), mash up some algae-wafers with the back of a spoon until they're very, very high-quality and feed them to your fish. Alternate this with live newly-hatched brine shrimp (that you could buy starter cultures and hatchery equipment on-line or from strong point shops) and revel in looking at the little buggers develop!

For some reason, crunchy potato chips seem to work really well for fish food. If you crush them up into a powdery substance (or atleast small enough for your fish to eat), they usually provide a decent source of nutrition. I've noticed that plain tortilla chips seem to be the best.
