The easiest way is to boiled an egg and then take the egg yolk to make it into liquid fry food. Take a very small piece of egg yolk size of rice and mix it with water. Stir it until it becomes debris which the fry can eat easily. Let the egg yolk particles be as smaller as possible. Feed then egg yolk until they get to 2 weeks old and above. On the 3rd week, let them have bigger food such as BBS, Microworms, bloodworms and so on.

Warning: Egg yolks can be a good food for fry with high protein. It actually help them grow faster than what we can imagine. HOWEVER, be caution with the water quality. Egg yolk tend to make the water cloudy and the bottom gets really bad with lots of fungus going on. Make sure you siphon any left over food every each meal. Otherwise, you will only see one by one die.

P.S. Fry will eat anything they saw. Even a rotten egg with fungus, they would eat it. So pay extra attention on this.

What do you do if your female Betta is ready to have her babies?

The male and female bettas will do a mating ritual involving a dance, flaring at one another, and ending with the male coaxing the eggs from the female. when this happens, carefully remove the female from the tank (she will try to eat the eggs) and allow the male to fertilize and care for the eggs. Wait approximately 2-3 days untill the fry are free-swimming and remove the male. Then feed the fry either special fry food or microworms. Make sure the water flow is lowered for the fry once the father is out. Good luck!

How do you know when a betta fish is ready to reproduce?

you never really know all bettas are different they are usually ready at 11 weeks the female will be fat if she has eggs. im very bored so if you try to breed them here is what i did:D remove the male and female betta into a different tank (unless you don't have any other fish). this is what i did my fry are 2 1/2 weeks old now and doing great:D 1:place Styrofoam cup cut longways in tank put it against the wall and put some thing that floats like the end of a plastic plant like the one you put in the fish tank 2: cut of the bottom of a plastic peanut butter jar try to cut as flat as possible its ok if its uneven just put that side up out the female in this thing. 3:drop the water level down to about 4-5 inches this is a must because the eggs sink and the male has to go get them if its to far to swim he will give and stop puting eggs in his nest 4:feed the fish frozen blood worms 5:when the male betta has blown alot of bubbles under the Styrofoam cup floating on the top of the water release the female betta its ok if he rips her fins a little bit (the first female betta i put in with my male betta he riped almost all f her fins of and wouldn't breed with her) if it gets that severe remove the female and try a different female after she lays her eggs remove her 6: 24 to 36 hours later your fry should have hatched (don't worry if they are a day or 2 late mine where) 7: 2-4 days later the fry should be free swimming (again if they are a little late r early its ok mine when...wow what didnt go wrong with mine?) now remove the male betta now you need to feed the fry i feed my hard boil egg yolk and water mixed together. they prob wont swim by it they eat it out of the water you can't see them doing it 8:your tank is getting dirty 1-2 weeks later take a turkey baster and suck up the junk off the bottom and put water in a bowl to look for betta fry remove betta fry with spoon put back in tank 9: 3 week old betta fry start breathing from the air now so you have to spray the water with water so its humid in the air in the tank s when they take there first breath there lungs don't shrivel up and die. well mine are not passed this yet so do some research on 3 week old betta fry and older good luck:D
