Feeding Betta Fish Young

So now that you have successfully bred your betta fish, you are wondering what to do next. In the first 2-3 days the young can feed off of inforsia that grows on the plants, they are like very tiny bugs. After three days you can get live and liquid forms of food. For betta splendens most breeders recommend live foods like: microworms, bannana worms, and vineger eels. Keep the temperature steady for the first week, and feed them one of the live foods. Make sure not to over feed, and keep the bottom of your tank clean, do so carefully. Keeping live plants in the tanks while the fish are still growing together is a good idea, they will continue to feed off of inforsia while they can for awhile, as a supplement to their food they get from you. As they grow you can start feeding them a fine ground powder of krill and betta flake food, it may take them awhile to recognize this as food. At first just sprinkle a very, very small portion in the part of the tank you feed the most. You can start this around 2-3 weeks depending on your growth rate. After 3 weeks you can start slowly decreasing the temperature, try to do it so that at about 6 to 8 weeks its somewhat near room temperature. Most breeders change the water every other day or so, so the growth hormones don't build up in the growing tanks water. At about 5 weeks you will want to figure out where you will separate males to. They will need at least a quart each of water, and they will need it changed regularly.
