Guppy feeders are small and inexpensive fish to feed smaller predator fish or to grow out to become colorful little aquarium livebearers. Each pack comes with about 40 fish, give or take 5%. These feeder guppies are hardy but do require an airstone and clean water. In general, feeder fish can tolerate temperatures from the 60s to the low 80s.

Care Guide
Tank setup: Give them a heater, a gentle filter and plenty of plants, including some floating plants where babies can hide. Guppies like slightly hard water.
Feeding: Feed a quality flake or small pellet once or twice a day, only as much as they eat in a couple of minutes. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.
Tankmates: Guppies get along with other small, peaceful fish such as platies, mollies, corydoras, small tetras and rasboras. Avoid fin-nippers like tiger barbs and larger fish that could eat them.
Breeding: Guppies are livebearers and breed easily. Females give birth to live babies about once a month, and adults will eat the babies, so thick plants give them a place to hide.
Good to know: Feeder guppies are hardy, and extras can be grown out as colorful pets.
