Baby Betta Care 1st 2 weeks

[@mingzhuchen6573]

Best feeding introduction for betta fry ive see so far. The table to the end is extremely helpful.

[@ahmadamirul6591]

Im new into this betta breeding, i managed to hatch a lot of fries and thats why I end up here. This video helps me a lot! Thanks!!

[@HCAqua]

I just had a large spawn of blue and white marble plakat hatch this morning, so thanks for this guide.

[@StarlightBettas]

Your male is GORGEOUS! Can't wait to see the fry grow up they're so cute!

[@BigCityBettas]

Thank you! I'm so proud of him. One of the best I've produced in years. I can't wait either, but I am already just beyond excited.

[@StarlightBettas]

@@BigCityBettas I bred a cellophane female ( gets a few red/black koi spots once in a while then back to cellophane lol ) with my yellow galaxy koi male, most of the fry are cellophane and getting koi spots, some are yellow and a few dark bodied ones with red fins and blue iridescence. its so exciting when they get to the stage where they develop color/spots

[@jc-1231]

I’m loving this spawn series!!! Also the chart is very helpful. I often find that when I research betta breeding the instructions are very vague. I love how much detail is in this series. Keep these videos comin’!

[@BigCityBettas]

Thank you so much! I was really hoping to be as transparent as possible so maybe it will help some folks out. I know it can be a very confusing thing. I definitely will be continuing this series and coming out with more videos. Thank you for watching!!

[@KuyaCraig]

Best Betta breeding series I’ve seen yet!

[@BigCityBettas]

Thank you darling! I'm trying to push myself.

[@parrotbill9072]

You have a method of breeding Bettas I have not seen before. It all makes good common sense, and I can see how it works. But you keep talking about Almond Leaves having Tannin, down here in north Florida we have a tree that puts out Tanic Acid, I think Tanin and Tanic Acid are the same, since the swamp people drink dark clear swamp water that has Tanic Acid, because Tanic Acid keeps bacteria from growing. This southern tree is the Cypress Tree. The cheap guy that I am, I will use cypress leaves and see how well they do first, they're everywhere and they're free. I'll let you know how it works.😁

[@savvasgamingchannel5062]

In the UK we use oak tree leaves as an alternative to the Indian almond leaves

[@mandysmith2541]

The Chart at the end answered sooo many of my questions. A very big Thank You 😊!! Have been having trouble keeping my spawns alive past day 4... I now know why xx

[@Rometiklan]

Watched the spawn vid earlier today. Glad to see that spawn doing so well. Thanks for sharing! Liked and subscribed.

[@BigCityBettas]

Awwww thank you so much!! Update coming soon!

[@Clutchpearls]

You have no idea how much I needed this video!

[@juliet_burke]

Thank you for the list in the end! I learned more about the different size of worms and when to feed it to fry. What an enjoyable series. Thanks for making it fun.

[@BigCityBettas]

Thank you so much for watching!! I'm excited to keep this series going and share everything with all of you guys.

[@yanjijay6752]

Awesome video I kinda wanna try walter worms but yet I do have vinagar eels & micro worms .

[@agungperkasa1778]

hi..im a betta lover from Indonesia..love your video and hope you still make more video about betta to help other betta lover..thank you GBU..

[@bolezy9070]

Just a little tip for your water changes, put an air stone at the end of your tube that goes in the tank for siphoning, it will stop the fry from being sucked up the tube👍

[@franklinjones5649]

Daily feeding schedule will be very useful. Also the brine shrimp hatchery was very innovative.

[@BigCityBettas]

Thank you! I added it at the very end of the video for those who wish to see exactly what I do. It's nice to see you in the comments! You've been watching and commenting since I first started making videos, so thank you for the continued support. Means alot.

[@Alexis-gj6kz]

The information is SO helpful in this video. I wish more KZbinrs were willing to give such detailed information. The chart at the end of the video is EXACTLY what I was hoping for! Thank you so much Big City Bettas!!!

[@Lifewithpets72]

Excellent information as always. Editing and video content so on point. Can’t wait to see more!

[@BigCityBettas]

Thank you so much, I'm really working to improve my content. I can't wait to keep putting out more videos and get on a regular upload schedule!

[@cabebara9537]

Hi! I had a male veiltail betta named Gordon who had bright indigo fins. He bred with a bright red female, and had at least 40 healthy fry. Sadly, when I was in the process of selling the fry, Gordon died of an unknown reason. I got to keep one little betta from his spawn, and she was bright indigo just like him. Now her and her momma are happily swimming in a 20 gallon together :) R.I.P Gordon, your daughter will have her babies hatch soon from an albino male who she bred with.

[@juliet_burke]

Can you please make a video in the future about all your live food cultures besides microworms if you use any big size worms or bugs. I want to get red Russian daphnia, grindal worms and wingless flies for my bettas. I wonder what else do breeders feed them. Thank you, Amber! Very inspiring series.

[@Dainahhatesu]

So amazing to see you back! Great information and great explanations on what to do and when and the chart is amazing too!

[@BigCityBettas]

the fry are so adorable! I love it!

[@yancarlosrojas7463]

Beautiful and amazing video thanks so much

[@rolandrees6965]

Amber, what I do when I change water for fry. Drum roll: I got a strainer from Walmart, I just put on bottom of my aquarium, Put the tubing in the strainer and boom, the water goes in the bucket. I haven't lost any fry yet.

[@leonardod.zollicofferii7012]

What do you do with all the babies, do you keep them or do you sell them?

[@1on1dogtrainingregan73]

The fry tanks.. should they be cycled? I'm assuming the grow out tanks should be since they are in there longer...

[@bluebites97]

Hello may I ask, when should I feed my fry with artemia? Day 4 acceptable? Because they seems to be afraid of artemia. Or maybe their mouth haven't developed yet. Hope you can reply my question. Thanks nice video btw

[@a.p2977]

which plastic containers are you using to hold your bettas? I would gladly appreciate it if you share the info and if they sell them on amazon. :)

[@2fast61]

Could you tell me what kind of plant that is in the babies tank..we have some of that in the lake near me.

[@sero0914]

Thank you made my mind know more about betta thank you💖

[@Imranshaikh-dh9wv]

Thanks mam Love from India 🇮🇳 😊😊

[@silverstreambettas2129]

Jeez! Got here early. Congrats on the babies! I'm spawning a white halfmoon pair at the moment. Not exactly for looks but mostly because they are a very healthy pair considering age. Anyways! Love this!

[@BigCityBettas]

Awww thanks, I'm pretty excited about this spawn!

[@manuv3875]

Hi Amber.. Great video. I loved your way of presentation n I loved the colour combination of your Bettas. How many fries did you get. Please post a video of them if you still have them. Excited to see how the babies look like after looking at their dad n mom 😍😍😍

[@Matsyashrushti]

Awesome update on fry

[@CreepyChappy]

Nice video

[@hallebitchhh2097]

So do you feed them mirco worms when they are first hatched?

[@camboshareidea]

Wow i love your betta fish

[@lonelyzen6651]

I also Wish all of the betta fry will have great form and beautiful marbled yellow betta !! I also can't wait to see what they will look like

[@theaquaticdesert]

Where did you get this heater from? 4:50 I can’t find it here please give us the link or name of the product thank you!

[@nhantran8254]

How do you prepare the banana? Just smash it and feed the fry as is?

[@kaleemullah9110]

Superb, unfortunately i have seen this video little late , I LOST LOT OF FRIES €

[@BigCityBettas]

Sadly there is a big learning curve with breeding bettas. I lost many fish in my years of breeding before I figured out the right method for me. That's why I have a channel, hoping to share some information and experiences I've had to help others become better keepers and breeders. Sure wish I'd had the internet/KZbin when I was first starting out.

[@King_DarkSide]

If you have not improved your water draining method, I have a way for you to start the change and be able to walk away from it! I have a piece of cheese cloth that I have tied around the one end so no fry can get into the drain line! I use a clip to attach the line to the tank, and I put the tip exactly where I want the water to drain to, and I just wait to see when it's done! Then, I refill my bucket to the same spot, add a little more to fill the tank from evaporation, and repeat! I keep the cheese cloth on the end because stuff gets in the air, and the cloth will catch whatever happens to float into your bucket! I have cats, so there is always like 3 pieces of cat hair in the air at any given time. Lol! Never lost a fry since starting this, nor do I get random cat hairs floating in my tank 😂

[@py6403]

How do u keep your water so clean

[@JohnnyYazzie-oq7tu]

Hi, thks for the comments... I still have my pups...2 months old (pitbull mix)

[@T6WSX]

It was a nice and informative video, But i have a question, When fry turns into adults, Then how we gonna keep them in same tank ? they dont fight with each other or its ok we can keep them togather in same ?

[@justinheath3633]

Thank you for such a nice and informative video. We have our first batch of fry and this video is really nice and easy to watch and learn about raising these little babies so a big thanks! Oh and you sounds like Drew Barrymore lol

[@theaquapedia6440]

*Beautiful betta babies*

[@BigCityBettas]

I might be biased, but I totally agree!

[@shelleywalling3650]

During COVID19, we decided to put our male in with our female (April 9, 2020). It has now been 2 weeks, and I only have 4 baby betta fry left! Of course I had no live food except for the little infusoria(?) that are swimming around in the tank, so the fry are eating that, but I bought Hikari (powder) and New Life Spectrum Grow Fry Starter fish food powder. The fry are not really eating the powder, but the infusoria are, and the fry are eating the infusoria. I have some brine shrimp eggs on the way (tomorrow), but have never cultured anything before! Is it going to be too late to feed the fry the hatched baby brine shrimp by Tuesday (two days from now)? It is very limited baby fish food supply out here in NJ! Where do I get banana, walter and micro worms? I have frozen blood worms for when they get bigger and pellets. Help!

[@phajejekly8922]

How often do you add water within the 4 weeks ?

[@razorXblueXeyes]

Thoughts on Artificially hatching betta eggs ?? Do you know anything about it ?? Might be pretty interesting to check out .lol

[@anniet494]

What is the food for beta baby fish in first 20 days

[@isabella-iz6ee]

what are different types of food to feed frys?

[@raiannudalo]

Do we have to buy that micro worm?my fries are dying..pleas help.

[@TinoMiller]

You can get a potato cut it in half, carve a whole in the middle of one half of the potato then out bury it in moist soil for a week. After a week take it out scoop out the middle of the potato Get oats add hot water mix ( until it's googy ) wait 15 mins and add yeast and mix it .. Have clean jars and add the mixture into it then. Then you add the scooped potato into the oat mixture, mix it up and add more yeast . Wait at least 5-7 days and you would see the micro worms

[@mandydennert2520]

What is walter exactly?

[@Oliver-ni8kr]

How are they doing now?😃

[@jeanniechristy3885]

Thank you great video,

[@salehsalum645]

I didn't get you, how do you culture your first food?

[@minhducnguyen8544]

Baby fry after 7 days they are easy. The hardest part is at 3-7 days that when they start on dying even the big grown one.

[@ProtimAquatics]

Excellent video Sister ! Merry Christmas !👍🎄🤶🎅

[@BigCityBettas]

Thank you, Merry Christmas to you as well!!

[@OnefishTwofishROC]

What a helpful video! I will be referencing this in the future. My sparkling gouramis breed constantly and it has been quite a learning curve for me as far as working with the fry. Talk about just short of microscopic...yikes. Your worm culture is mixed? Wow - did not know you could do that. I keep Walter Worms here and yep it is a great fall back for sure. I have the same hatchery but need the heat mat to speed up the hatch time - mind if I ask what model that heat mat is? "surprise fry" ... lol! What a GREAT video - this is one that anyone can get some great info from regardless of what fry they have. You take impeccable care of your fry and it shows. Excellent job!

[@BigCityBettas]

Thank you so much!! The heatmat is a Zoo Med, hooked up to a Jump Start thermostat that's set to 85. I really do obsess over my babies health so it means a lot that you notice. :)

[@Hardmodeeverything3174]

Great info thank you...

[@PrasannaSaiNunna]

Hi, Can you also please make a video on when to seperate the male fish from the spawning tank and when to feed the fry from the day they hatches(very first feeding)

[@BigCityBettas]

I covered that in this video. You remove the male when the fry are free swimming and you feed the fry right after.

[@savvasgamingchannel5062]

Missing ventral fins in fry may be caused by feeding microworms. Happened to a few people.

Hello, Do you use any water conditioner in your aquarium?

[@BigCityBettas]

I do! I use Prime as well as aquarium salt at a ratio of 1 tablespoon salt per gallon of water. I'm coming out with an in depth video on spawn tank setup for those who want every single detail of what I do and why. I figure if I share all I know I can help some people have success in this hobby.

[@KuyaCraig]

Also, when you do water changes, do you leave all the debris on the bottom the first 3-4 weeks and change the water in the water column?

[@BigCityBettas]

Yeppers! First month I only remove water and don't worry about debris.

[@OnefishTwofishROC]

@@BigCityBettas OMG I wish I had this video about 2 months ago - this answers pretty much every question I have had. Water changes on a gourami fry tank have been unnerving because I was trying to get the debris off the bottom...and of course the fry blend right in so I have to keep the turkey baster right there. I kept thinking that the debris was surely a good place for infusoria etc...but then worried about ammonia buildup - you have just taken a huge worry off my newbie shoulders. I cannot thank you enough for doing this video!

[@BigCityBettas]

@@OnefishTwofishROC I can't thank you enough for watching! I have been breeding for some time and I've learned a few things along the way. I really love knowing that these videos might provide some insight for other people in the hobby!!
