In anticipation of a possible spawn this year, I've been reading every betta-breeding article I can get my hands on, just so I can scare myself enough to know that this is really what I want 
Anyway, in the course of my research I came across this article (second link is to the conclusion of the first article) about leaving the father with the fry even after they become free-swimming, and the theory interested me. It seems a very natural way of culling the weaker fry (after all, the father would know better than I would which ones were likely to survive) as well as a way to raise stronger fry in general. The article, though, is just documentation of one person's experience, so I was just wondering if any breeders here have tried this method or a similar strategy and, if so, what their success rates were.
