Feeding guppy fry

[HausMaus]

How often should I feed my 2 day old guppy fry? They're in a 35L/10g community planted tank with 3 adult guppies and 4 pygmy cories. Don't want to over feed the adults either!
I don't want to fish them out as I don't want another 15 guppies and wanting nature to do its thing. Survival of the fittest and all that.
Thanks in advance!

My fry eat 4 times a day

If you want survival of the fittest them feed your tank normally and if the babies make it then congrats.

I agree with Caleb. Continue business as usual.

Thanks I'll feed as normal

That's what I do. They always find the food they need in the tank.
Different story if you had them in a breeder box..

One week on and pretty much all the fry are accounted for. Twenty of them. Now that they're a little bigger I can see that a few of them have fin defects (pointy tails instead of fan shaped) so I guess I should cull those, if I could catch them!

if you were a breeder looking for something cull but the fins may not be defects or deformity the may just be a trait hidden in the parents genes
