So I'm trying to give the 2 month old guppy fry a taste of frozen bloodworms for the first time and I shake off a few worms from the cube. What do I see next? 2 week old fry the same size as the bloodworms are taking all of the worms! so there are mini-guppies cruising with worms the same size as them and none of the 2month old fry got any! Crazy stuff.
 
I am pretty sure that this is no longer a problem but maybe next time you can put some blood worms where the smaller fry are and put some where the bigger fry are, and hope they don't decide they want the frys.
 
Watch for blockage and bloating of the little ones. I have never raised guppy fry, but I had an African cichlid once that ate himself silly. His tummy would be distended and he looked like he was having problems!
