I Need Some Advice On Rearing Betta Fry

[afireinside]

Okay, so I can get my hands on most of the foods, liquid fry food, microworms, blood worms, daphina, moquito larva, brine shrimp, etc. But here's my question. How do I go about feeding them peas? I do not them to get constipated, as I know all those listed foods can cause it. So, is there any certain ways to prepare the peas?

it really depends on how old they are, in general as long as you dont over feed them for the first few months then you shouldnt get problems of constipation in the fry, in general anyhow the peas should be garden or frozen peas only and then cooked in the microwave for 30 secs and peel the skin off, rub some pea in your finger tips and then add to the tank, once in the tank it will break up and should be small enough for the fry to eat. but too much can also give problems so any excess not eaten with in about 30 mins should be syphoned out. only give peas if they need it, and remember that even after a single feed of anything fry look constipated as they expand very well so dont think that they need peas every time you see this. only give it if they are showing signs of swimbladder problems, tbh i wouldnt give peas to fry under the age of 2 months

Yes, I am aware that the fry will look huge when they eat and that swimbladder problems could be caused by the constipation. That's exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.
