Question:I certainly don't want to over feed them... so I have been giving that 1 flake to each fish from now on wards...would that be enough? The look as if the are searching for food in the gravel.
Secondly, my fish tank is starting to be cloudy as I can't read the thermometer probably...I'm worried if I feed too much, they are swallowing those dirty cloudy water...
Answers:
Best thing to do is add some food and watch them eat, if they eat it add a tad more. when they lose interest in the food take it out.
when the guppies are looking for food in the gravel that means either they are still hungry or it is a regular tradition with fish meaning that they are looking for dessert.
Here ya go this is about the cloudy water.

as for how much food a sprinkle should do it didn't you ask when you got your fish, don't be afraid to ask Questions about your pet that you want thats what the pet store is all about always ask.. take care enjoy your pet.. the only bad thing about fish is you can pet them or take them to the park lol and they don't kiss real well lol
You are not feeding them too much, but have you been conducting regular water changes? Remember, fish can live for a month or so without food,and that underfeeding is better than overfeeding. Don't worry, but if they start looking really hungry then make it four for 2 fish.
2 flakes? nope...
how's about 4 or 6 flakes depends on their size
no feed until they get a fat somach
Tough call considering flakes vary in sizes. You should feed them as much as they will eat in 2-4 minutes. The best thing is to always watch them to make sure they are eating right and until you know how much to feed them. There is a trial and error period until you get used to it.
It sounds like you are new to fish. The cloudy is probably a bacterial bloom. This a a good thing in the long term but it also means there's an ammonia spike. If you only have the 2 guppies in there, it should be alright. I am including a link on tank cycling so you can learn more about it.

NO! I have 1 guppy and it eats a lot of food (I dont overfeed it cuz i got 2 other gold fish that eat most of the food 2). Just sprinkle a little but of food in the tank. I say about a pinch full of flakes.
