Crush flake food very fine, or rotifers, or BBS. I never made any special effort to feed my baby guppies, and they seemed to do fine. If this is a newer, unplanted tank, you'll need to provide some cover as well as food. I'd feed twice a day, a very small amount.

I have a really small guppy that was born just days after its parents got into the tank. Both parents died and for a while it was the only fish in the tank :( It's slowly been growing and just two days ago started to develop a little color. He's a very cool little fish. I fed some blood worms yesterday and he latched onto one. It was **** near as big as he was but he ate it. 2 other larger females are in the tank and he was bound & determined to not let them have it.

Funny to watch. Just thought I'd share. Moral of the story when they're small they need small food.

They sell a livebearer fry food. Its almost like a fine powder. Comes in a small can. I think it is made by tetra. I have used it in the past with good results.

Baby brine shrimp is the top food for baby guppies, you could also alternate with finely crushed flake food.
Some of the liquid fry foods work well in the first couple of weeks.
Feed the babies little but often and try not to pollute the tank
Cheers.
