can I nurture my betta fry powder fish food when they hatch?
I have powder fish food it's real loose and soft and also they wont be able to choke on it,can my betta fry get through it.But if not,I was doing a lot of Research,and one of the sites said something in the region of egg and water,can somebody explain to me how to make that stuff?
Exactly as silver said. Betta fry are born with the instinct to hunt and ambush live food. Get yourself a microworm culture from Ebay before the pair spawns.
If you use the egg yolk method, you have no road to clean out the water without sucking out babies... so they will back up dying from ammonia poisioning.
SO it will be in your best interest to get microworms, but if they are already spawned eggs.. you'll hold to use the egg yolk method wont you? They probaly will not survive though. :( But best of luck!
You can give them the powdered fish food, but they need protein, so I would give them the egg stuff, this is how I generate it for my fish.
Boil one egg in with a bunch of carrots, next, when the egg is done. Take the yellow egg yolk stuff and mix it in with the carrot liquid. Then, give them little drops out of a syringe.
Good Luck!
shift to a pet or fish store and get newly hatched brine shrimp.
they probably wont eat powdered fish food
thay are born with the instinct to chomp through live food ...microworms are easy to take care of
Answers: Yes, you can feed them the powder fish food made for child fish and your fry will survive, but buy the high quality kind. Also, you want to do several small feedings in a day at the beginning to nurture the fry. Just follow the directions and you should do ok.
