First Bites Fry Food
A fine, semi-buoyant powder sized for newborn mouths. The flakes and pellets adult fish eat are simply too big for a fry to manage in its first couple of weeks.

Our take
A newborn guppy fry has a mouth barely bigger than a grain of dust, and ordinary flakes or pellets, even crushed, are still too big to eat. First Bites is ground fine enough for fry to manage from their first days, and it is semi-buoyant, so it drifts through the water column instead of sinking straight to the substrate where fry rarely go looking for food. Feed several small pinches a day rather than one large one, fry have tiny stomachs and do better on little and often, and switch up to crushed flake once they are visibly bigger.
