Marbled koi halfmoon plakat bettas

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Welp I have no guppy fry
My female gave birth to stillborns and died
Either way the reason they grow faster with guppies is cuz the guppy fry act as dithers and eat things betta fry won't, like dry food
So the bettas kinda see the guppies eating dry food and realize it's food, and will eat said dry food with the guppies
If you can feed a variety of food they'll grow faster

Makes sense, also stillborns in guppies can be caused by inbreeding, sometimes fish that get two copies of a certain gene die
 
Ah
My female already had parasites, that may have factored in a bit...
She was a high quality female and that was the first and only time she went into labor, so I didn't want to risk losing the fry in treating her
My plan was to catch her going into labor, move her to a jar to give birth, then move the fry to another tank and treat the female in the main tank
What ended up happening was she went into labor, I put her in a jar, she gave birth but they came out dead and a bit later she died too.
 
Here's my largest fry
Eats basically anything like I said
I call it beebo
I jarred it temporarily to take a pic
I freaked out when i put it back in the tank cuz it was just sitting on a leaf but when I put food in front of it it went back to normal and started eating XD

Sorry for your loss sux, hope things go well
 
Powerfeeding
As I said earlier the fry are getting up to size
There's about 35 left
I'm feeding 3 or 4 times a day and doing 50% water changes daily
