I somewhat doubt if they could fit guppy fry in those tiny chompers. You might have to look for a different fish. What size tank do you have, and how many guppies and fry are in there? Maybe there is something else that will fit. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
