+1 for crushed flakes. I believe mine also munch on tiny critters in the plants.

You can take a pestle and mortar and make your flakes really fine for them. A nice powder will do. Or as Jim said, purchase some live plants. I don't know if you can get hornwort in the UK but that is great. Or if you can find whats called guppy weed.

I have used liquid food in the past with success.

Live food?
If not then you could raise them and take them back to the LFS
But i would go for live food

Leave them in the tank with the parents. If you have cover for the fry some will make it and some will get eaten by the parents. I hate to think about how many guppies I'd have if I saved all the fry. I started with four and now I've got about 100.

Hey!
My guppies gave birth about a month ago. I started off feeding them on ground flakes (which is did in my fingers) I hear baby brine shrimp is good aswell though. After 3 weeks i let them lose i believe we have lost 2 but the rest have survived. You should be releasing when they reach about 1 inch. Guppies once impregnated can give birth every month give or take a week for almost a year without being impregnated again. I would advise plenty of cover in your main tank and to leave them in there. Hope this helps!
