Fry

[5teady_2012]

Started to feed my betta fry with microworms now, only problem is its very hard to fully clean the tank floor as the fry are so minute..

I can get some of it up but not all, i tested the water and the stats are...

Ammonia 0
nitrite 0

so i know the water is ok for now..

How often should i be feeding the fry and how do i know they are getting thier food

Thanks

I start water changes after 2 weeks of them being free swimming.Never had problems with this beofre.And the fry are alot easier to see so you won't suck them up as easy.

What are you using to suck up the poop? You could try a turkey baster maybe?

i made a mini siphon vacuum thing out of some airline tubing and the clear plastic part of a biro for mine. works quite well, but i still have to be really really careful!

Yeah i made a mini siphon the same way out of airtube, just hard to still fully sweep the floor with it.. as long as i can get some up and my stats stay good, i guess it should be ok..

if i do happen to get somefry sucked up, i been using a little mini plastic shringe to get them bk out of bowl and put them bk in the tnak, just hope it dont stress them

Thanks for replys

ps, how often should i be feeding the fry and how do i know there getting enough food.
