They'll also have better finnage and color since they'll have a better supply of the nutrients they need to produce these things. This really is one of the most fundamental aspects of growing good guppies.
Pristine water and good groceries, as TOS indicated, are critical.

One item which I have found to be beneficial is that my home made recipes supplemented with BBS seem to help their growth and colors a bunch.
