For an indoor tree, you need enough to fill a 24 by 20 in (61 by 51 cm) pot....

Your fry should be separated from other fish or mature guppies. Any food fed should be powdered or fine so that the fry can eat it. If feeding flakes feed the fry several times instead of lot at once cause fry won’t eat the water softened flake and this would cause water clouding. Occasionally try feeding the fry with spinach leaves and pealed pea pods. Good aerated conditions promote growth and voids diseases away helping to have maximum number of surviving fry....
