I was thinking about breeding Bettas any advice
Ok should o use brian shrimpI just had my first batch of fry this week. Betta eggs go from being in the nest to hatching within days. That's the first mistake I made so I was not ready with their food but I was able to get some tricks on what to do. If you're truly considering breeding your bettas I would get your food ready now
Thanks a lotIt really depends on your personal preference. I actually ordered a microworm culture which is actually nematodes and they seem like they're pretty easy to keep alive
Lol ok I amMessage again for more help
No he got into a fight and killed all 3 fish that was nipping at himYes, and it looks like the beginning of Popeye
why is he most vulnerable to pop eye thoughYes. Breeding is very aggressive for bettas so you want them in the best shape possible.
And watch his eye, it can become Popeye if it gets infected, but it should go back to normal
Ok thanks and surprisingly his only wounds is his shredded fins!If he bumped his eye, scratched it in the fight, or even just weakened immunity during recovery from the fight... all those things can cause it. Some bettas get it for no known cause
