    Hi,

    My guppies are rejecting the dried food (pellet). I prefer to feed it dried food than live ones.

    does anyone know any dried food that the guppies will eat continuously as if it is so delicious?

    Thank you in advance.

    Starve the fishes for a few days and they will be receptive.

    Feed it every other day..they will be more receptive towards what you serve on the menu..

    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.

    Re: Dried food for guppies

    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).

    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.

    Re: Dried food for guppies

    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.

    Re: Dried food for guppies

    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..

    I also have many types of dried food as my guppies don't eat a particular brand.
    So it's normal to have a few brands of pellets. I end up feeding my tubifex worms on those unpopular guppy pellets.

    I observes that my guppies like fine grained pellets. They shun the bigger grains somehow ... Hikari brand is a good bet. I use them for my guppies, C.pandas and guppy fries.

    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.

    Re: Dried food for guppies

    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.

    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.
