Where can you find microworm cultures for betta fries?

Question

I read that you have to feed baby fries, after removing the male which is approximately how long? (could someone tell me?) And also where can i find microworm cultures, and what do i feed them?

Answer 1

There are literally hundreds of sites that sell mircoworm cultures out there. Any of them can give you good instructions on keeping your culture going.

But to answer your question bread.

Also, once the babies are swimming a bit if when you need to feed them and when you remove the male. That could be one day or two or even a few hors more depending on lots of factors.

Answer 2

I used to remove the male when the babies started darting out away from the bubble nest. When he starts looking totally frazzled and darting around trying to catch babies and spit them back up. Instead of just picking up babies that have dropped out of the nest.

This is an excellent site on raising betta's

You might also try a Daphnia culture.. those are REALLY good for small fry too.

Make sure you get the cultures before you breed as very rarely can you find an established culture.
If you don't have time, I would suggest getting two or even 3-4, that way you can use one up on the fry while the other one is cultivating a better culture.
