Two Week Old Baby Betta Fish | STARTING WATER CHANGES
Betta 7 years ago 13,526 views
The Baby Betta Fish Fry are over two weeks old. This means that it is time to start performing water changes daily. This is my second water change and I think I am getting better at it. Its stressful because I don't want to accidentally siphon up the tiny baby bettas... so I have to be very very careful. Water changes are important for two reasons. First, now that the fry are growing I am starting to feed more.. this will create more waste in the tank that needs to be removed to keep the levels of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia at zero (ideally). Second, there is a theory that the larger betta fry release a growth inhibiting hormone that prevents the other fry from growing. This gives the larger fry an advantage. The water changes help eliminate the hormone so that all fry can grow develop in a artificial and more crowded tank setting.
