Feeding a Guppy: the honest notes

🐾

Feed tiny amounts 1–2 times daily: crushed flakes or micro-pellets they can finish in under 2 minutes.

🐾

Guppies nibble constantly, so it's easy to overfeed — excess food rots and crashes water quality fast in small tanks.

🐾

Feed vegetables (blanched spinach, crushed peas) once a week for digestion.

These are breed tendencies, not a prescription. For the actual amount, the calculator uses your pet's real body weight and life stage — the same veterinary formula vets use.
