It is harder for them to accept dry food if the guppy you acquired has been eating live food through its life. But as bros here commented, after starving, it will slowly accept it.
I feed my guppies both live tubifex and dry pellets on alternate days.
They are ok with both.. Although their preferred choice is live food which they greet with more enthusiasm (but of course).

oh.. i see.. thanks for the advice guys.
I will stop feeding today n tmr, then dip my finger in on the 3rd day, maybe they will "chew" on my finger also.
just kidding, learnt a new tip today. Cheers.
Mind if I ask, what brand of guppy pellets are you feeding to your fishes?

I feed my guppies with Hikari Fancy Guppy and tubifex when I have some.

Thanks for the info guys. Don't know if I should get a new pellet food for my guppies. Just fed them (after almost 2 days of starving) and some still reject the food. sigh..

That would be it. Slightly expensive but as usual its a quality product from Hikari. I also use First Bites from Hikari as well for the first few days of a drop.

thanks guys. I'll go and get this one. Cheers.
You can try feeding them with pellets from New Life Spectrum. Premier prized food though for your fishes but my beloved fishes simply love it.

i used hikari's micro wafer.. like what many bros here mentioned, feed every other day
My fish prefer micro pallets from Auquri. When I feed flakes from Ocean Fresh...they don't eat just few bites then when I add more no takers all float to bottom.
