Fry Raising

You should be proud that you made it this far!  I suggest you turn off the filters in case the fry get sucked in.  No water changes, no tank cleaning, no nothing.  Your tank is going to get filthy, but don't worry.  The fry will be fine as long as you give them them good food and keep the temperature even.

The fry are hungry!  What to do, what to do...

 

Liquid Fry Food: This can be purchased at Petco, or Petsmart, or cheaper on the Web.  Just add a drop or two into the tank.  Don't put too much or it will pollute the.  Fry love this and will eat it any time.  I haven't found a place online that sells this yet.  I will post it as soon as I do.

 Brine Shrimp: I have had bad experiences with this stuff.  I was depending on them and then they were duds.  I think I just had rotten luck and you have a 99% chance of this working, but don't depend on it.  Have a backup plan.  This is where the brine shrimp eggs can be purchaced.  http://store.worldpetstore.com/obrsheg60gr.html

 Infusoria: I personaly have never tried this, it sounds too...yuck.  Inforsoria, also known as green water, is a microscopic organism that grows when you float a few pieces of lettuce in a tub of water and let it set in the sun.  I don't know how well it works, I have only read articles.  http://pabs92.org/first_food.httm

Microworms: I have heard that these work amazingly.  I have never tried them, but I have seen many, many sites that say this is best.  I would definately give it a try.  Get is a few weeks before you are breeding your fish though. http://www.teradoty.com/bettas/store/
