Hi! I have a clutch of baby bettas. I only ended up with about 10, as the male started snacking on the eggs 2 days in, and I didn’t notice right away. I thought he was still tending to the nest I saved as many eggs as I could. But they didn’t all hatch. there is only one specific fry in this...

Hello everyone, these fry started free-swimming yesterday, and it seems like vinegar eels are too big for them? You can see in the pics that the vinegar eels seemed to be escaping from the gills of the fry. Should I be concerned about this? Thank you.

Hi! So a couple of weeks ago I successfully bred a pair of betta fish. The babies are getting close to 4 weeks of age. I bred them knowing that I would be away this next week; because a friend had told me that they would be able to feed the babies for me while I am going to be out of the...

So the day before yesterday I went to petco in search a new pet. I saw the baby Bettas and couldn't resist the cuteness and the idea of raising a cute little fishy. I've had Bettas before, but never this young. Nor did i do what your techie supposed to do. I wouldn't say I treated them poorly...

Okay, so I recently lost my big male to old age, and today my mom brought home one of Petco's 'baby' bettas for me as a surprise. Let's skip past the ethics of buying a juvenile fish from Petco. I have it now and I'm not about to return the poor thing. It's over one inch, almost an inch and a...

My friend bought a baby betta from petco but then decided she didn't want it... :roll: She knew I had a betta before and pretty much insisted I have it. I'm happy about having this little guy, but I have no idea how to take care of him! Currently, he (or she) is in a 2.5g tank with a heater. I...

On Christmas, I got 3 mollies and 2 platies. One molly was a boy, the other 2 were girls. Immediately I saw the boy mating with one of the girls, and assumed she would get pregnant. Her stomach was getting bigger slowly, like I would imagine a normal pregnant fish would get. Her due date was...

Hi, need a detailed guide on breeding guppies? Are breeding traps okay, or do they stress the female out? Is a ten gallon with a "fry nursery" a good choice? I really need someone with good advice! This is a research project, so I cannot keep all the guppy fry. If anybody wants some, let me...

Hi sorry for posting in the betta section but I feel I will get more responses this way, it is important. As with betta care sites, many of the guppy sites have conflicting info when it comes to fry care. Are there any betta lovers out there that have knowledge and experience with guppy...
