I guess i could try Daphnia but i don’t think any stores nearby sell itIm surprised they show no interest in the bbs.... what about daphnia??
So if i just pick up any floating plants from a store they should have infusoria on it? Yeah i know ladymac s been super helpfulAnother food option for newly hatched FW fry is green water and/or floating live plants (which will house infusoria). BTW, you are getting invaluable advice from @LadyMac.

Will do. When should the fry start dying from starvation? I’m at day 6Yes, virtually all plants will have microscopic organisms on them that the fry can eat.
Although it can foul the water like egg yolks, dirty sponge filters are also filled with microorganism and can be squeezed out into the tank. Additionally, I encourage you to do some internet research to see how to make your own green water.

Not home right now but I will once I get home this afternoonIn my opinion they may be too small for the baby brine shrimp. Before you spawn again, find a culture of microworms. Aquabid has a good seller with micro, Walter and banana worm cultures. Good small food that they eat well. They are eating on something , can you get any pics of them and the setup?
Hmmm might be too late for this batch. Maybe in 4-6 months when they are adults, if they get thereWhen you get a chance, here’s the seller. He has great prices and is very willing to help make sure your cultures grow well.

Nice! I jsut buy the baby brine from a LFS and they dont eat the hard boiled eggs anyways. Haha it definelty is a lot of work! Now i think I should’ve raised two batches each time...would be a lot more rewarding in the end when i sell or keep themThis thread brings back a lot of memories! I used to raise and breed bettas in college with a GF of mine. It was SO time consuming making brine shrimp, straining hard boiled eggs to just the right size, daily water changes, separating fry, etc., etc., etc.!! I think I worked harder raising those betta fry than I do with my saltwater tank today!!
