Livebearing toothcarps (Poecilidae):
Guppies, black mollies, platies, sailfins, gambusias, swordtails and some others belong to the group of viviparous toothcarps. What they all have in common is that they give birth to live young and do not lay eggs like most other fish species. In the wild, viviparous toothcarps eat insects, insect larvae, algae, and anything else edible—they aren't picky. Depending on the habitat, the algae and the small animals that live in them often make up the largest part of their food spectrum.

Flakes or granules?
Honestly, it's kind of a question of faith! There are few arguments for or against the type of feed. If you use an automatic feeder like the JBL AutoFood, you MUST choose granulated food, as almost all automatic feeders are only suitable for granules. If an automatic feeder is due on your next vacation, get your fish used to the granules from the machine IN TIME. Some fish actually find it difficult to switch from granules to flakes or vice versa. Imagine that you have always eaten soft cornflakes and are now having whole grain muesli for the first time.

Probiotic or Prebiotic?
Probiotic foods such as Some foods, such as some yogurts, contain live cultures of bacteria to promote health, but only when consumed in large quantities. Such foods, including probiotic fish food, can easily spoil and then do the opposite. Incidentally, the positive effect on health is quite controversial.
Pre- or prebiotics are "substrates that are used selectively by host microorganisms and provide a health benefit." Scientists agree that they promote digestion and thus health. Better digestion results in less excretion and thus less pollution of the water, which means that the water stays cleaner and fewer algae problems arise.
