I agree with John in this.  Guppies aren't that big, they eat a lot of algae
so they don't require constant feeding of flake etc. unless you're trying to
breed them for sale and want them to get big as fast as possible.
Unfortunately if you feed your fish well, they don't bother chasing down
baby guppies.
