Answer:
hello To your first question: Guppies are extremely sensitive to change ! eg water parameters, temperature and overall really difficult to transport from LFS to your new tank! So you lost one to shock most probably! They need a long long time in the bag from your LFS and adding slowely your tank water in the bag as slow as you can for as long as you can! Its very important! So if the others are ok they might be ok for good. But it takes up to three days to show this syndrom and still might have some losses. I hope not! second question: Yes you probably have pregnant guppies in there ! They are actually pregnant most of their life just so you know. Get some floating plant and make sure there isn't a strong current in your tank. As fry is very bad swimmer. They will hide in the plant and that's the best you can do for their chances of survivel. Also feed them with crashed up flake food or crashed up warms. They will need to outgrow other guppies mouths to survive free swimming. Also they should stay in the tank they were born so do not remove them. Third question: Feeding guppies has the same rule as any other fish. Do not overfeed ever. its really bad for your fish and the water. So feed a little by little. Adding some food then wait until its all eaten. Then if still hungry add a little more and so on until they full. Just watch closely and in time you will know how much to put in. Also be sure all food is eaten within 1-2 minutes. If there is some left after this time you are overfeeding. You can feed twice daily but be sure to feed only 6 days a week. It's good for your fish to have one day of fasting. All the foods you listed are good Good luck with your guppies

its probably from the change or he was old
The food that comes on the link is not for guppies. They like regular flake food, freeze dried worms and brine shrimp. The food on there is for Discus fish which are large cichlids. Feed them the ones I recommended two times a day only enough that they can eat it all in 3 minutes. The one that died was caused by stress or just a bad fish. As long as you have lots of greens for hiding places and the adults fed properly, the babies should be ok. Female guppies seem that they are always pregnant. They have young every 28 days. When they balloon up and look like they are going to pop, that is when they will give birth. Good site: http://www.fishlore.com/Profiles-Guppy.htm You may want to get a few catfish. Cories are great cleaners and go with live bearers. good luck
