Quick question about feeding betta fry.

[Krys]

Ah, I got the FDB already. Horizon loves them that little pig, lol. Amir is kinda skeptical of them right now, he prefers his pellets, lol.

Now with that kit, does that supply you with enough BBS for the fry? Or would I need to get more?

Not really. You'll need to get more, you can get a small vial for about $6 (though it's small there's a A LOT of eggs).

well if I were to get more of the same packets that the kit comes with, how many more would I need?

I'm not sure since I haven't used the packets mine came with yet.

this is the vile that i'm looking at. How many would i need of these for the fry?

[MrVampire181]

One is good enough since you don't need to much for the fry. That's the same vial I use and the eggs are a very fine powder. If I have more than one spawn at a time I just add more every day to the hatchery.

Alright then. How much should i put in the hatchery at once, and how many BBS should i put in the tank at one time?

You don't want to hatch to many shrimp at once so what I do is wet my index finger and then put my finger over the opening (tightly, you don't want eggs spilling everywhere)and then tip the vial upside down for a second and then carefully flip it back. Then I take the eggs on my finger and dip it in the black box filled with water, clap the lid back on and then put the collecter bottle on.
