Hello I wanted to know if I could grind multiple type of food for my guppy fry that are Tetramini Flakes, Omega One Color Slow-Sinking Mini Pellets, and TetraMini Granules to feed them would it be better than just feeding flake food?

Don't know if better, but certainly should be OK

I mix all food for all fish . When I run out of one brand I can add another. A good way of using up raffle price rubbish food is mixing it in with the good stuff. Just be aware that all food has a use by date. If it’s been opened you probably need to toss it after 5 or 6 months maximum even when you keep the lid closed tight.

Yes a variety is much better than just the same old flake day after day.

Will they grow better if I grind multiple type of to dust and feed them? Plus my food is pretty new it’s been 3 months since I opened all my food.

Water changes are the key to growing out fry.

All creatures including humans do better on a variety of foods. Only you can look at the ingredients and decide if one has something that’s missing in another. Feeding live foods is good. Feeding frozen fish is good. Feeding the appropriate vegetables for a species is important.
I don’t wish to be rude but guppies can eat anything. That does not mean they should make do with the cheapest bulk for brought from the 7/11 or petrol station/ gas station.
The foods you have are all good.
Feeding a little and often as well as changing 35% -45% of the water multiple times will make the grow.

Search the “growth hormones of fry “ if you have time. Only water changes remove them .

Thanks a lot I looked in to growth hormones and saw this guy say to do 10% water change daily and yesterday I went to Petsmart to buy some frozen brine shrimp from omega one I tried to feed them that but there were too big is there a way I could break them?

I use human grade seafood from the supermarket. I see no reason why if I can grind a full size muzzle and big chunks of fish up into a paste for tiny fish you can’t grind adult frozen baby brine into a paste that fry can eat? Try not to upset the other members in your house is always my intention. Using the side of a knife on the bread cutting board to grind smelly fish is sure to upset others if you don’t ask first and clean up afterwards.

Looks good! But what is it and where did you get it from? All for your guppies?

They're for all kinds of livebearers. So, not specifically just my guppies.
I only order at a german wholesaler and a dutch online store (I know the owner of both companies from the vivaristic events that all three of us are participating). Special prices!
They're all different kinds of fish food that I've ordered. For I do keep livebearers that are omnivores, herbivores and carnivores. So, it's not that all livebearers are omnivores, to be honest. For a lot of people think that all livebearers are omnivores. That's unfortunately, one of the generalizations about livebearers that have been copied so many times by people that novice aquarist believe that it's true.
