Feeding Fry

[athao04]

Im getting my spawn ready, will be starting in about 2 weeks. I would be starting sooner, but next week I have to leave town for a week, so I decided to start after so I can keep an eye on everything. Anways, my question:

I know you feed fry 3-4 times a day, but what are the time intervals that you do it at and should I be worried about starvation over night? Such as 10pm - 8 am. Thanks!

Thanks Devon_Charm! Im at school and I will be breeding in the lab, but Im sure I will get a key, as the head of the bio department told me so.

afishdude - I will be feeding microworms and attisons betta fry food (forgot the name).

i would say 3 times a day.

the time between they will be fine.

thank you very much for the reply a fishdude!

make sure you condition the male and female on blood worms and brine shrimp for 2 weeks before spawning.

Yup its been about 3 weeks of conditioning with clean water, frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp. I would've done it this week, but I go on break next week. Im told there will be people to clean and feed them for me while Im gone, but Id rather do it myself.
