Hey, my bettas did the nasty and now i have about 50 - 75 little fry swimming around, how soon should i start feeding them brine shrimp, and is there anything special i need to do?
 
Thanks for your help in advance!
 
take out the female now leave the frys with the father for as long as they are free swimming.. have a 5 or 10 gallon jalf filled with sponge filter for for the frys to grow out. gl and congrats!
 
As soon as they are free swimming they can handle bbs.
I used to culture infusoria,and use egg yolk first few days,but an ibc breeder and judge suggested I use the bbs immediatly and they would be fine and of course,it worked.I got 3 spawns growing now.
 
They didn't do anything nasty! they did what they are created by God to do. They did the beautiful! CONGRATS!:headbang2
 
if the dad is a fry eater, then u can remove the daddy too. and raise the frys yourself. it isn;t that tough. feed bbs on the 3rd day of free swimming. best to feed them 3 tiems a day. dun overfeed as it may lead to dirty water.

do water change after the 1st week. and do only 5%, rem to use aged water with antichlorine.

u may use ketapang leaves too. they should grow up strong and able to feed on tubi on the 2nd week
 
Thanks for the help! The dad is taking care of them, i feel sorry for him, poor guy is going crazy trying to keep all the fry off the bottom. How long does it usually take before they start to become aggressive towards one another?
