Betta Fish Fry Changing Color and Moving Tanks 226 2

Betta 6 years ago 4,079 views

The Betta fish fry are a month and a half old and are starting to change color. Some of the fry are now turning cellophane in color. We have moved them into a 20 gallon grow out tank and are doing daily large water changes. We have found that many of the fry don't have ventral fins and have been getting some die off.

How many pounds of substrate do u think I'll need for a planted 20 gallon long?

Lennox Gopaul - 6 years ago

Don't feed worms,That is the cause of your loss ventrals.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

I don't think it's the worms themselves but the bacteria on the bottom of the tank where the worms sit. It cause their fins to rot away. Sadly I didn't use salt and I think that would have made a difference.

Shaden0040 - 6 years ago

Could th no ventral fins be due to inbreeding of this species?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

No, it's due to bacteria in the tank.

Shaden0040 - 6 years ago

What sized tank and sponge filter are these? thanks.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

The grow out tank is a 20 gallon long. The sponge filter is an XY380 I think.

Pets are for Me - 6 years ago

They grow so fast! I love the purple pinkish

Cooper Olm - 6 years ago

Why do you think you had so many deformed fry? That seems unusual. Did something go wrong in the eggs or do the parents have bad genetics?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

It’s seems to be common when using micorworms early on. There are many different theories as to why which I will be testing out when I breed again.

That's very interesting about the missing ventral fins. I wonder if that is an external sign of a genetic defect that affects their survivability?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

It is interesting to me that there are very few without ventral fins that have made it to the larger size. I wonder if it’s the bacterial infection which slows the growing process down.

Absolute Aquatics - 6 years ago

Wow! They look amazing!

BANCHEE - 6 years ago

Your bettas are absolutely gorgeous! The purple and pink color is stunning :)

Molisa Steinmetz - 6 years ago

Will you do a video on what to look for when you do the culling ( saw on a comment that you have done them). I would love to know what to look for.

Benjamin - 6 years ago

I have a tetra waterfall globe 1.8 gallon is that ok for a betta? It would have a sand substrate with a Amazon sword.

Benjamin - 6 years ago

hahayourfunny94 Ok thanks

hahayourfunny94 - 6 years ago

Benjamin No.. all 1.8 is really suitable for is shrimp and plants. Bettas need atleast 2.5 gallons. Some argue 5, mine has 9 so the bigger the better. Also the rounded shape isn't good for fish. It can cause eye problems.

Joy Barton - 6 years ago

Great to see the baby bettas growing! That little one stealing and swimming away with the food is so cute!

cadenns - 6 years ago

My brother dropped my betta fish into his African Cichlid tank

Valerie Thomas - 6 years ago

Help! My betta didn't poop for almost 2 days now and she has a little lump under her stomach. Should i worry of constipation? Am i feeding her to much?

Valerie Thomas - 6 years ago

It's fine now she caught up and she pooped twice yesterday (sry tmi) thanks for the advice though

Cooper Olm - 6 years ago

how much do you feed? I think generally only 2-3 pellets a couple times a day is recommended, they have wee stomachs. Try fasting her for a day or two, and if that doesn't help much feeding a bit of shelled pea can help clean out their digestive system. Since they can't digest plant matter it acts kind of like fibre does for us, it pushes everything through.

hahayourfunny94 - 6 years ago

Valerie Thomas I would skip feeding for a day (or maybe two depending on how bad it is). I actually fast mine for one day a week so he has a day to digest. I know a lot of other people do as well. How much do you feed her?

dbachelor's Planted Aquarium - 6 years ago

sorry about the die off. Happy Christmas!

gottalovebettas - 6 years ago

It seems like yesterday when they were just tiny. You have been doing a great job.

Mimi's Aquatic Addiction - 6 years ago

I am so sorry for the losses. The rest seam to be doing very well. Thank you for sharing!!! I enjoyed seeing them!!

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Thanks!

Mary Devereaux - 6 years ago

Very sorry to hear about the loss of some of the babies. I had the same problem at 5 1/2 weeks. I love to see their full tummies after they eat!

Fish For Thought - 6 years ago

happy almost new year sheila!
weird thing with the lack of ventral fins = die off... never heard of that before. really curious

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Thanks. Yes it’s interesting. I have culled some too and will possibly cull some more.

Deidre Lattimer - 6 years ago

Thanks for the update Sheila. I'm surprised at the size differences. I hope you and your family had a lovely Xmas.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Thanks!

The Titus Twins - 6 years ago

:) Wish you could ship International.

Silver Stream Bettas - 6 years ago

Die offs are common, it sucks! But that's why I don't really have high hopes for the fry the first few months. Hopefully you do get a few babies out of this!

Lila :D - 6 years ago

For one of the names for theme can be Henry

Z-G Tern - 6 years ago

What do you feed them while they are less than a month old?

Puppypop 101 - 6 years ago

They’re so cute! It’s too bad that some are dying off though. My bettas spawned yesterday and the eggs are starting to hatch just now, it’s so amazing seeing this part of keeping bettas. I can’t wait until my little guys are free swimming as well!

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Congratulations! It’s a lot of work but so worth it.

The Bettas are doing well. Sorry about the die off.

Jeffrey Youngblood - 6 years ago

Thank you, you too.

Pet Craz - 6 years ago

Mini is SO GORGEOUS, Is she new? I do not know if I have seen her before.

Pet Craz - 6 years ago

Wow, she is a amazing female betta. Thanks

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

No we've had her for a year and a half. She has changed a great deal in color over that time.

Pet Craz - 6 years ago

How much is shipping for tank dividers + root tabs? I am interested (if I bought from you, it would be my first time!)

Pet Craz - 6 years ago

OKAY, bank you,! :)

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Thanks. All details are on the website. Add in your address and it will bring the pricing up.

Lochlin Bly - 6 years ago

i just subscribed! :)

Nathan Stark - 6 years ago

They just now are starting to eat brine shrimp?

I've heard a few places that if they eat off the bottom instead of from in the water column for the most part that can have an effect on the ventral fins development. I wonder if that is why so many breeders use daphnia and brine shrimp as soon as they can.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

They have been on baby brine shrimp since a few days old but they have only been on full sized brine shrimp for the last week or so. Yes that does seem to be the cause.

Animallover0236 - 6 years ago

Baby fish are adorable. I'm hoping for the best for these little ones.

Del James - 6 years ago

Aren't you suppose to start culling the fish with deformity? Sad but you would end suffering

Cooper Olm - 6 years ago

I'd argue that since so many of the ones with the ventral fin deformity are dying that perhaps they are suffering and you just can't tell.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Yes we have have done some culling. Having no ventral fins does not cause an issue to the fish it is more about aesthetics.

Jim Will - 6 years ago

Are any of them gonna stay like that or will they become koi later

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Their colors will change as time goes on.

Yana Brown - 6 years ago

i cant wait too buy one

ShadowsandCityLights - 6 years ago

Yana Brown IKR!!! I think many of us are watching and waiting!

RagnarTv - 6 years ago

Hi, Can i keep two female bettas and a male betta in one tank? ;)

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

No, they will likely kill each other.

Betta Crafts - 6 years ago

That's too bad some don't have ventral fins. Are you breeding again? You might have more success from the next batch. You've done an amazing job raising them so far. Do you thing that was something to do with the microworms? better luck next time ;) They are amazing fish, happy new Year!

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Thank you. I have several theories that I’m going to test out when I breed again.
