Q. I have 1 male and 1 female betta.They just had their baby betta eggs today!I wanna know what to feed them,their tempurater,and what do i do with the female betta and the male betta???

A. The fry are too small to eat most commercially available foods. They need to eat micro foods like cultures of daphnia, bloodworms, mosquito larva. If your using a sponge filter in the spawning tank, sometimes you can promote culture growth on the sponge that the fry can eat. They need a tank with a temp over 76F as well. If you havent already, please remove the female, she may eat the eggs otherwise. The male will take care of things untill the fry are free swimming, at which point you remove him too.

How often do I feed my Betta? Do I listen to the pet store person or the back of the pkg?
Q. I just bought a Betta last night, he lives in a one gallon glass bowl and I purchased "color enhancing betta bits" by Top Fin to feed him. The back of the package says to feed him 3 to 4 pellets two times a day. The petsmart sales person said to feed him 2 or 3 pellets every other day. I am not sure which one to do. (I did not read theback of the pkg until I arrived home so I could not ask the saled clerk why he said one thing and the pkg said another.) Also I bought this fish for my 7 yr old daughter and if I am supposed to feed it every other day can I cut the amount in half so she can still feed it every day since I am afraid she may forget if its not a part of her regular daily routine? One last thing, my daughter found a large pretty… [cont.]

A. You shouldn't have to feed a betta twice or three times per day. It's recommended to feed bettas a few pellets every other day or so, like the PetSmart employee explained. I had a client come to me, asking about why her male betta appeared to be pregnant. The reason was evident when she told me how often (and how much) she was feeding her fish. Just like humans, fish can become obese, too, and the excess stress on his body could cause him to die faster. You could probably get away with feeding a betta one or two pellets per day to keep your daughter on a schedule so she'll remember. Just be sure that she doesn't over-feed the fish. Over-feeding can lead to a number of problems, not just limited to obesity. The excess pellets could sink… [cont.]

Thinking about getting a betta, what kind of plants will work best in room lighting?
Q. I plan on getting atleast a 5 gallon tank, probably with one male, and am unsure which plants will best filter the environment. I've heard of options such as bamboo and lilies, but I am concerned about plant overgrowth and proper environmental interaction. In addition, I am a frequent traveler and am interested in how to feed a betta while I'm gone. No, the plants are primarily for added filtration between cleanings, as I would like to avoid an electric filter.

A. please see my betta site, Under betta care it has a list of plants for betta splendens. Such as java moss. It will be good for bettas and elimiate nitrites in the water.
