Hi betta territory, do you have any issues with a new betta spawn frys dying? And how do you prevent them from dying, thanks
i love you
Will of it (eggs) going to hatch? Causei have difficulty trying to take out the bbs because some of the egg still at the bottom of the bottle
Where I buy the egg?
where to buy syringes for use with baby brine shrimp unable find online what would i search for name and size
scott ross did you already check ebay for 5 or 10 mL (disposable) syringes?
@@BettaTerritory no but i will now i jsut didnt know the sizes cause wasnt sure if different sizes wouldnt work with the straws ty for info very much apreciated love the video btw abit fast with words but nothing cant pause for sec to read. very helpful and awesome
Can i feed everyday BBS my adults bettas?
Can you only use BBS to feed the betta fish to them adult
Technically this would be possible, but personally would advise you to feed a variety different foods in order to make sure the fish will get all the necessary nutrition. In the following video I give an overview of the growth rate & development of my fish and also mention the type(s) of food I mention at each stage. Hope this is useful to you: czcams.com/video/jaqNrvbnJs4/video.html
When breeding a complicated baby brine shrimp to your breeding complicated betta.
When i hatch bbs there is still a lot of eggs in the bottom. What seems to be the problem about that? Is it normal. Or am i adding too much salt? I use a 1.25 plastic bottle and 2 tablespoon of salt
Hi bro, can you please detail review about beetha food from day 1 to day 50
This video might be of your interest, I have mentioned the type of food I feed at every stage of development: czcams.com/video/jaqNrvbnJs4/video.html
how many grams of bbs do u buy and how long does it last u ?
I usually buy a can of 454 gram of BBS eggs. I keep a working stock in the refrigerator and the rest in the freezer. I can usually work with this for about 8-10 months depending on the amount of fry/spawns I have growing up in the fishroom. This method works perfect for me.
Can you share me link to purchase
What kind of salt do u use
Kue Yang cheap non-iodized salt from the supermarket (see the video at 0:05 sec 😉).
I want buy Brine Shrimp Eggs, Where do I Get it in cheap price
I usually purchase them from a local webshop here in the Netherlands. I pay about 70-80 euro for a can of 454 gram of BBS eggs.
Do you use any Indian almond leaves?
betta fish breeder mark usually only in the spawning tank or for fish recovering after spawning.
Artimia and bbs are same with different name?
Correct. "Artemia" is the genus these small crustaceans belong to. They are commonly known as (baby) brine shrimp. The full scientific name for the common species used is 'Artemia salina'.
When can i feed the Betta fry ?
Blue The Betta I start feeding my fry as soon as they have absorbed their egg-yolk and start to swim horizontally. In the first few days I feed vinegar eels (smaller than BBS) and add increasing amounts of newly hatched BBS (most nutritious)
No conditioning of the water though?
Chrissy Polans Nope! Not necessary Dutch tapwater does not hold any chlorine and can be used without waterconditioner.
Awesome! Btw my Father was from Brunnsum
Hello, how long do the BBS stay alive after they hatched without putting them to the refrigerator?
Newly hatched BBS are the most nutritious 1-2 days after hatching. Personally I set up a new culture every 2 days. So try not to hatch too many eggs at once.
In freshwater the survival of BBS decreases with a lower salinity. So important here is to prevent overfeeding to prevent excessive waste.
@@BettaTerritory thank you for your reply, When I hatch the BBS I put them in the refrigerator with more water and salt, It slows down their metabolism and keep them alive, but not as vivid as they are newly hatched. I asked that question because I thought you never storage your BBS.
Is BBS the same as Artemia ?
Blue The Betta yes artemia = baby brine shrimp (BBS)
how many days can the BBS in the bottle survive... ???
CptWinz As the BBS is most nutritious in the first days after hatching I put up a bottle every 2-3 days.
@@BettaTerritory with or without aerator??
How many times a day do you feed your fry?
Johnny lor I usually feed them 2-times a day.
@@BettaTerritory amount for lager like not adults but a little younger
I suggest dont ise iodized salt you should put rock salt or aquarium salt
I do not use Iodized salt in this video 😉.
can I feed my betta frys frozen BBS?
sonny ngo possible, but I would really recommend to use live newly hatched BBS. The fry will chase the food and will be more keen to eat this.
@@BettaTerritory ok thanks
How long baby brine shrimps stay alive ? I can’t see them now active, what should I do ?
I set up a new bottle every 2 days as BBS is the most nutritious just after hatching.
@@BettaTerritory ok, i found the reason for not getting hatch last time. I used this time on outdoor with direct sunlight, so it works now. I have many bbs lives. ;) should I need to on the air pump for 2 days or can I keep them on the fridge for later usage?
Today my beeta pair laid eggs. Red veil tail father and nemo mother. any idea about how the babies color will be distributed ?
Can we feed newly hatched bbs at the first day of their completing of the yolk sac absorption ?
When the fry is in the horizontal stage (free swimming) you can directly feed newly hatched BBS. If they can eat it directly will depend on the size of the fry and the size of the BBS. An alternative is feeding vinegar eels for 2-3 days as these are even smaller.
@@BettaTerritory thanks a lot for replying me , I don't have vinegar eels available here and worried about their survival
@@BettaTerritory right now I have some newly hatched baby brine shrimp with me
How much price of 1kg of artemia eggs
You should inquire with a seller 😉.
How many days before you feed a newly hatched betta fry??? Pls answer and how many times do you feed them brine shrimps???
Lance Belaong I feed my Betta fry twice a day with newly hatched BBS. I do this for about 4-6 weeks then also start feeding chopped live tubifex as shown here: czcams.com/video/1OEXIk7sOJE/video.html
How bout if i dont have live food what else can i feed my 4day old fry??
Lance Belaong Some breeders feed egg yolk in the first days after free swimming, but this can polute the tank very fast. Another option is very fine dry foods but this is not eaten very well by the fry. Live foods really are the best option for fry at this stage as it is moving the fry will chase the food. Further newly hatched BBS is very nutritious.
What temperature do you need to have the water. I tried to do it but it was a big failure after a hole day and night they did not hatch... but yeah the water was kind of cold.
vorniceanu ionut in my Fishroom it usually is 20-22 degrees Celsius. Maybe you put the bottles in a tank with a heater to provide a constant temperature for hatching. Good luck, please keep me posted.
@@BettaTerritory I am wating for a hatchery to arrive. One of those that you can put in your aquarium .
I am feeding my fry with an egg mixture. Their ok so far... and it's the 11 th day.
Do you think they can survive on egg a bit longer 3 or 4 days until it arrives and i am able to hatch the brine?
vorniceanu ionut I know several breeders use egg yolk, but I have no experience with this myself. From what It is nutritious for sure but the biggest risk likely is pollution of the water so try not to overfeed to prevent this. Fingers crossed for the hatchery to arrive quick. No way to start a culture an alternative way until it arrives?
@@BettaTerritory well I made a hatchery from two bottles. Do you think if put a heater inside the made hatchery it might work?
Also do you need to add baking soda or not. The brine shrimp that I have is the already mixed version so it has salt and some sort of algae. It says you don't need to add it but I am not sure now. Have you ever used the mixed version?
vorniceanu ionut no sorry, I only use pure eggs and the salt from the supermarket as shown in the video.
I want eggs can you sent me am from India
