Answer 1

You should be feeding them 3-4 times a day with a very fine flake food (SeraMicron is a good one) or a liquid fry food.

You should also be siphoning out any debris or uneaten food from the bottom of the tank daily. The bacteria that will grow in the nastiness at the bottom of the tank will cause deformaties in the fry and keep them from developing as fast as they should.

Temp should be in the range of 78-82 degrees F.

Partial water changes of 25-30% should be done every 2nd or 3rd day.

Clean water and high protein food are the two most important things you can do for fry of any fish. If you don't give them these two things, you will end up with stunted fish that do not develop into healthy adults.

Answer 2

OK I have a female Betta which is blue (rare). I do a 50% water change every week. I asked when I got her how often I should because my male Betta died on me. So the lady said once a week. So I change the water every Friday evening while my cats are still asleep lol. Anyways as for normal food go to our local pet store and ask. Here in Edmonton we have a place called Big Al's and its all fish in that store. I hope I have helped.

Answer 3

you may increase the water later when they start to show some size to them. food? always tailored to the size they are capable of eating----not for a few weeks yet------right now concentrate on keeping them well nourished and the water clean enough-----thats the two primary focal points till they develop some size to them------Good Luck

Answer 4

yes 2 weeks

Answer 5

Add more water when they look like they need it

Feed normal food all the time, have you ever heard of abnormal food? Just feed them
