Live bearer fry are too big for infusoria. You could try baby brine shrimp with them.
More important is feeding the fry five or six times a day (small meals), 50 percent water changes daily, and keeping the bottom of the tank scrupulously clean.

I got some guppy fry about 4 days ago. I have been feeding them with egg yolk solution. I hard boiled the egg, took the egg yolk and mashed it up fine with water and feeding them drop by drop of this solution. little ones love this.
