What to feed Guppy Fry?

hi! My Guppies just gave birth to some fry. What do I feed my fry to grow up as fast as possible? [ Conditions... : heated 10 gallon aquarium. about 14 Fry in the tank. Lots of decortations [ about 2 big ones and 3 small ones ], and just fed them today. I heard brine shrimp? How much do Brine Shrimp cost?

Have a “handicapped” baby guppy..what to do?

One of my Guppies gave birth to somewhere around 15+ babies. They are all in a seperator tank inside the main fish tank. One was born slightly deformed near it’s tail. I call it Scooter because the first couple of weeks it spent much of the time scooting across the bottom of the tank. It can now swim to the top of the seperator tank to eat w/ its siblings (before it was munching left overs falling to the bottom or Brine Shrimp when I put a batch in).
Anyway – the other babies are big enough to go in the main tank, but Scooter is still quite a bit smaller than the other babies. I know Guppies are schooling fish, so should I just continue to leave its siblings in with it, or will Scooter be okay alone (IF I can manage to keep him in the seperator when I’m getting the others out)?

Is ther a way to make my molly give birth?

I have had my pregnet molly for a couple months. Its looked pregnet for about two months. I have it in a floating breeding tank. I read you could make the molly give birth by doing certain things like feeding it brine shrimp. Is this true? If so what else could I do?

my GUPPY FRY wont eat!!?

yesterday my pregnant female guppy gave birth to 33 guppy fry and they are in a breeding box on their own.
i have been feeding them frozen brine shrimp because i have heard that it is good to help them mature and grow up faster, and crumbled up flake food.

but they dont seem to be eating it.
i see about one or two picking it up (the shrimp) and swimming around with it in its mouth but never really actually eating it.

am i doing something wrong?
or am i feeding them the wrong foods?

thanks.
