Can 1-2 month old bettas eat pellets or freeze dried bloodworms??

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

No they ideally need live foods or frozen foods.

Terry Nicholson - 6 years ago

Amanda de Bara - 6 years ago

Waddle Dee pop - 6 years ago

What size tank do you keep them in?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

The babies started out in a 10 gallon and as they got bigger were moved to a 20 gallon grow out tank.

So how do you sell off the extra fish? I really want to try breeding, but I can't support the extra fry if they arent' sold. Do you sell them to LFS or online? What is the backup plan? Thank you so much.

Dakota14breyer - 6 years ago

Thank you very much, perhaps I will try, i'm not terribly good at social media.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

We sold ours online through our YouTube and Instagram.

Brieanna Schwab - 6 years ago

I wanna breed my beta fish because it’s a gorgeous red color and I’m saving for a bigger tank and a heating thing so I can get another fish and breed them. I saw a very very pretty purple beta fish that’s a girl since I have a boy already. I was wondering if that would be a good color combination for a dark purple with a tint of red in the tail.

Brieanna Schwab - 6 years ago

Lifewithpets ok, ty.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

If you breed a red betta you will likely got mostly, if not all red babies no matter what the other betta is. Red is the dominant color.

[Jelly Angelica] - 6 years ago

Wont they fight each other?

[Jelly Angelica] - 6 years ago

Lifewithpets ok thank u :)

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

It varies from spawn to spawn. Typically at 3-4 months of age.

[Jelly Angelica] - 6 years ago

Lifewithpets when should that be

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Not when they’re young. Eventually you do have to separate them all.

Ngoc-Lan Dinh - 6 years ago

Hi Sheila, How are you? I have a 3 days old baby fry. I am not sure when to feed them. Since I am still new at this. Please help me with the info. Thanks.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Once they are fully free swimming.

Champ Blazed - 6 years ago

Approximately how much money did you Spend for the entire thing?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

If you don’t have the tanks etc to start with it would be very expensive. You need a breeding tank, growout tank, live foods, brine shrimp hatchery, then lots of frozen or live foods as they get bigger. Lots of suitable jars, that you need to find a way to keep heated. Breeding is both time consuming and expensive. We had a lot of these supplies already.

Wrapalee - 6 years ago

They’re so beautiful!!! At what point did you remove dad from the tank? Right after the hatch? How many babies did you end up getting? ❤️

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Thank you. We removed him once they we free swimming.

Naya Noodlelolies - 6 years ago

when did you start feeding them and what did you feed them?

First Name - 6 years ago

I wanted to try breeding but then i wouldn't know what to do with all the baby fish once they've grown up

Roshan Smith - 6 years ago

When should we start water change do the baby betta need to be one mouth old to do a water change?

Roshan Smith - 6 years ago

Thank you for the information

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

We did about 2 cups worth of water. The tank was only filled half way so we did a water change twice a week and the rest of the week we added a fresh cup of water to the tank every 2 days till the tank was filled to the top. By then it was about week 3 and we did water changes every other day.

Roshan Smith - 6 years ago

How much water change should i do?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

We started at 6-7 days old.

da vi ci malay - 6 years ago

you betta just like koi betta

Brooke G - 6 years ago

Do you need to separate the fry at a certain point in time? As in, do they become aggressive to each other like bettas do? Also, did you remove the father when they were hatched?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Yes, once they start to show aggression you need to jar them until they’re ready to go to their new homes.

DinosaurGirl135M - 6 years ago

2:34 WOAH! That one looks exactly like my Betta when she was born!!!

Edited - Oops. Why did I say born? I meant, when I first got her.

Ethan James Intong - 6 years ago

Can a 3 months old betta be able to breed?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

No, that’s too young. 8-10 months is a good age.

Mohammed Parker - 6 years ago

Really beautiful! Just one question. How do you feed them after they are born like when do they start to eat micro worms?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

We started feeding on day 3 after they were born.

Coffee Cup - 6 years ago

Could you just feed baby brine shrimp to them at any age?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

They need live foods for the first few weeks. This encourages them to eat. Baby brine shrimp are the easiest along with micro and banana worms.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

No, they need to progress onto larger foods as they get older.

66toogy - 6 years ago

That was very cool

Cyndee P - 6 years ago

These are gorgeous! Me and my husband have always had fish, we have a 75 gal with peacocks in there. It’s so much fun. And now I want to try something that I’ve always wanted..... betas! I need help deciding which to have, which to breed, which aren’t so aggressive and more questions. Who or where is the best information that I can get to help me figure out what type of betas are for me?

kasss xo - 6 years ago

i’ve had my betta for 4 months and he’s not this big.. what am i doing wrong

kasss xo - 6 years ago

Lifewithpets i change his water as i should, maybe just because i have him in a vase rather than a big tank? i’m not sure how old he was he was very small tho i got him as a baby at petco

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Water changes and a varied diet make a big difference. How old was your betta when you got him?

Naneth Sto.domingo - 6 years ago

How many days when father realese in tank

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

The male was in the tank for two weeks before the female was added. The female was in a container in the tank for two day
and then released. They spawned within a few hours and the female was then removed.

Naneth Sto.domingo - 6 years ago

I have a question

Wich website would you be selling them on?

Happy Little Charms - 6 years ago

How old does a female beta need to be to breed?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Ideally 8 months or older. They can breed younger but letting them mature properly is better.

Muhammad Yousaf - 6 years ago

Hey there Sheila! I'm considering setting up a guppy reeder tank for profit. I am absolutely new to the hobby. I have don a lot of reasearch. Do you even think I should do that or should I just keep a simple guppy tank. Any tips?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

I would wait until you have been keeping a tank successfully for a while. Maintaining a balanced tank is what is need for a breeding tank for profit due to all the babies born. It requires more work than a regular tank.

Alejandra Iturria-Mijangos - 6 years ago

Hi Sheila! My fish has dropsy and I️ looking for the best way to treat I️t, I️ don’t have epsom salt but I️ have aquarium salt. I️ went on YouTube to treat I️t but realized a lot of people do not recommend I️t. Why is that??

Alejandra Iturria-Mijangos - 6 years ago

Lifewithpets aww okay thank you, I got home from work but my fish didn't make it :'(

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

I tried Epsom salt and also kanaplex. There was another medication too but I don’t remember the name.

Alejandra Iturria-Mijangos - 6 years ago

Lifewithpets thanks Sheila! Can I️ ask what you used to try to cure your fish?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Unfortunately I’ve only had dropsy once and I was not able to treat it successfully. Dropsy is usually not curable although a few people have been successful. I think it really depends on how early it’s caught.

Rion Sealtiel Garcia - 6 years ago

I have a question where do you get almond leaves?

Rion Sealtiel Garcia - 6 years ago

Thx but tho what does the almond leaves do to bettas?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

We sell them on our website. They’re out of stock at the moment but should be available again by Wednesday. They usually sell quickly! Link to our website is in the description box of any video.

Brandon Yang - 6 years ago

Creative Pet Keeping hello from California i was wondering what do u feed your frys? To make them grow in such a great rate ?

Betta 4 Life - 6 years ago

What do you feed a fry in his first days?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Betta Fry are usually too tiny to eat baby brine shrimp when they’re first looking for food. You could try though.

Betta 4 Life - 6 years ago

Lifewithpets I can only get my hands on baby brine shrimp, is that ok?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Microworms then I moved into banana worms and baby brine shrimp

Addison McQueen - 6 years ago

I don’t know if you’ve said it in a video yet but are you planning on putting these up for sale on your website? I’d love to get one when it’s time to do so.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Yes, when they’re ready they will go up on the website. Looking to sell them at the end of this month or beginning of next month.

Jalyn Watson - 6 years ago

I had more fry but they got eaten but I didn’t notice I had fry but I had 5 then he got eaten so I have 4

Jalyn Watson - 6 years ago

Please help I have guppy fry and I’m 11 I don’t know what to feed how do I care for them

Jalyn Watson - 6 years ago

The Real Tori oh k thanks

The Real Tori - 6 years ago

Ok great! Then as long as the environment is safe, all you’ll need is some new born fish food. I use First Bites by Hikari Tropics that I bought at my local store to raise my molly fry

Jalyn Watson - 6 years ago

The Real Tori I had more fry but I didn’t notice

Jalyn Watson - 6 years ago

The Real Tori I have a sponge filter

The Real Tori - 6 years ago

Jalyn Watson make sure your filter intake has something over it so they don’t get sucked up in the filter. If you have fish in the tank that might be harmful to the newborns you will need to buy a breeder net for your tank or get another tank for the babies so they won’t get eaten. Also to feed them, you can go to any petsmart or petco and they have newborn fish food that’s small enough for them to eat if you want to do it the easy and cheap way. Good luck!

hobby,gaming and passion - 6 years ago

Lifewithpets do some video like micro worms without starter culture.cause I can't buy starter in india. will you?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Yes up to about 3 months of age and then I went to every other day. No some are in jars I've had to go back to daily. It's a lot of work!!

MEX AND U.S.A blood gamer - 6 years ago

That is cool littel fish they r beutiful do u sell them by any chance

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

We will be selling them soon.

Hope Z - 6 years ago

Beautiful video!

Nabil Akbar - 6 years ago

How often do you clean a fry tank their poop is really small so I’m assuming the ammonia that comes from their waste is going to be low compared to a regular sized fish.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Either every day or every other day I do 50-60% water changes. When fish are young they produce a growth hormone inhibitor to stop the fish around them from growing, so you need to water change a lot to dilute it otherwise the fish become stunted.

ChristineF - 6 years ago

I Just Can't Wait 2 Be King - 6 years ago

i noticed that a couple of fry lack ventral fins, it honestly a matter of aesthetics and it doesn't really affect the wellbeing of the fish but this occurrence seems more apparent. But i do like the organic natural setup you have for your spawn tank than your commercial breeder that has everything barren. Heres you breeding your first spawn whilst ive been debating for months whether to get ottos to live with my one betta in a 16 gallon aquarium or not...

I Just Can't Wait 2 Be King - 6 years ago

thanks for replying! i thought you would've attempted once in the past but then i remember it was Kasia from Creative Pet Keeping i was thinking of. I wish you all the success with your new spawn, you being a first time betta baby parent is a long journey! Congrats on your channel development! x

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Thank you. This is my first spawn. I haven’t bred again yet but I intend to in the next few months.
