STEP 6.
A very exciting period will happen over the next two days or so.
Your male Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish will keep the eggs cleaned and see to it that the eggs stay in the nest.
He will recover any eggs that fall out and place them back in the nest.
Then you will see the babies!
About two days after they hatch the first babies or ‘fry’ as they are known, will begin to swim without help.
OK, so now is the time to remove your male Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish otherwise he will start to eat the babies.
When the babies hatch you will also need to feed them. Micro worms, baby brine shrimp or daphnia are a good choice, but you will have to feed them up to five times a day.
In ten days or so you can feed them a little powdered food, which is a small amount of finely crushed flake food.
At four weeks you should be able to tell males from females. You now have to separate the males from each other to avoid them fighting!
Females can be kept together!
Good luck!
I will be reviewing an excellent e-book on breeding Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish, so be on the lookout for that.
