Your guppies are in various stages of pregnancy if you don't want fry maybe consider a predatory fry eating fish such as a angelfish or maybe only having male guppies. Congrats on the pregnancy

Since you are going to have fry, and I just got my first fry, I’ll ask my question on here and hopefully everyone will be able to help us out. What do you feed Guppy fry?

I typicaly feed my guppy fry crushed flakes or ground omega one micro pellets I aldo have cory dora pellets that they will peck at and eat but that's me. I have also done infusoria and when they reach a aceptable size I tend to give live blood worms or cultured mosquito larvae. Many people also suggest gel and powder foods.

I am intentionally breeding them. Trying to expreirence the whole process. Are their any fishes that’s later in pregnanvy than the 2 I ve put into the separated breeder box ? Tons of thx!

None of the fish are very far into pregnancy and the two in the breeder box have some time before they pop. Typicaly before you're fish give birth they will be skittish and not eating and there stomach will be squared and bulging and in my fish if you look at the gravid spot you might see the eyes of the baby's through the skin. Pretty neat huh but if you want more healthy fry you should release the females till they show signs of birthing and feed them high Quality foods and some treats like live foods and or frozen foods. Good luck

If you stress the females out they can give birth prematurely. So no moving from tank to tank or tank to breeder box etc. Just let them give birth in the main tank. My mollies never showed any distinct signs of impending birth other than squaring off. I was always surprised with a tank full of fry after I came home from work in the afternoons. You can use the breeder box for the fry short term.
