Answer 1

Boiled Egg Yolk is an ideal choice for the frys' first food simply because it is easy to prepare and maintain in our hurry-up society. It is also an excellent source of all the nutrients the youngsters need to be healthy and grow rapidly. Place a small piece of the yolk of a boiled egg in single layer of a handkerchief and swirl it in the water at the surface of the rearing tank. With a strong light and close-up observation you can see clouds of tiny yolk particles disperse into the water. Watch a little longer and you can see the fry eating those tiny bits of yolk. Another favorite method for feeding the yolk involves squeezing off a small piece of yolk between your thumb and fore-finger then swirling your fingertips in the water releasing the particles for the fry.

Answer 2

You can start a infusoria culture but it will take a few days. You should also try to find some first fry foods such as liquid fry. To make the infusoria crunch up a piece of lettuce and place it in a jar or bowl. Add some tank water. Let it sit for a few days until the water starts turning white. Then you can feed the fry. You will need to boil a egg and let it cool. Peel it and take out a very small part of the yolk and mix it up with tank water. Then feed it to the fry. Use it sparingly because it will foul up the water fast! Your best option would be to feed it the egg yolk or the liquid fry until your infusoria culture is ready. Next time be more prepared. You will likely lose most of the spawn from not having the proper foods. You will then need to purchase some baby brine shrimp eggs and hatch them when they are about 2 weeks old. Betta fry should be fed 4-6 times a day.

Answer 3

Betta fry foods need to be set up before you even start to spawn the adults. Betta fry need LIVE foods in order to get the right nutrition. Newly hatched betta fry won't even touch non-living food. They aren't like livebearers and other fry where you can just crush up adult food and they'll eat it. They won't. Baby brine shrimp are too big for newly hatched bettas. Their first foods should be vinegar eels, microworms, walter worms, and infusoria. At around 1-2 weeks then you can start hatching brine shrimp for them. None of these foods are sold at Walmart.

Answer 4

Fry need live foods. Live food is the only food that will provide the fry with the nutrition they so badly need at this stage of their lives

Answer 6

Hi, First of all you don't need to feed your Betta fry until they are free swimming. Then they will be large enough to eat live brine shrimp.

Answer 7

I read that you can combine crumbled egg yolk from a hard boiled egg with water...but I couldn't find a recipe for it. Try google.

Answer 8

crush it up and add water to it to make a paste
