Seriously, pot bellied fry are great, especially if they are still scooting around the tank. Angelee is so right in warning you about watching for the uneaten food.

If you can hatch a little baby brine shrimp and feed it to the fry a little after it hatches, they will grow even better. (If you have extra baby b.s., the adult guppies are very fond of them too.)

I'm impressed with Angelee's feeding regime. If you can fit multiple feedings in, it is a good thing. They will still grow up on one feeding a day.

I remember reading someone who said that probably one needed to feed their guppies no more than six times a day! LOL! As if that would be an issue for most of us! :)

I couldn't bring up anything on this site's search engine on snails. (Google searches under "Guppylog snails" got a number of hits.)

However, before you toss out any pond snails which snuck into your tank, seriously consider leaving them in the fry tank. They make a pretty good clean up brigade and your incidence of disease should be less or non-existant if you are faithful with water changes.

Fry just darting around are not in trouble. However - and you are NOT likely to see this - there is a "disease" or condition occuring in well fed, crowded tanks called "crazy-man's disease" or acidosis. What has happened is there is so much waste material in the tank being broken down by the nitrogen cycle that the pH plunges to 5 or even 4! (Or to 7 from 8.6)

Fish in a tank where the pH is plunging will panic and blindly scatter all over the tank at the slightest provocation, even smacking into tank walls. A quarter tablespoon of baking soda or plaster of Paris in the tank may hold it until you come home from school or work and can give the tank a complete water change.
