Busy Foragers Multiple Choices

Guppies may be tiny, but they are constantly searching for food. This passage explains that guppies are omnivores that eat algae, mosquito larvae, small insects, plant material, and other tiny organisms they find in the water. Readers learn how their small mouths and quick movements help them pick food from plants, the water column, and the bottom of their habitat. The passage also compares what wild guppies eat with the flakes, frozen foods, and other foods commonly given to pet guppies.

This worksheet helps students practice identifying supporting details and connecting diet with survival. They build vocabulary related to omnivores, larvae, algae, nutrition, and foraging while comparing feeding habits in the wild and in aquariums. The passage also strengthens cause-and-effect thinking by showing how diet can influence both guppy health and the ecosystems where they live.
