Hi Joep, Great informative videos and articles on your site. Helped me to understand a lot of betta genetics. Keep up the good work. Small dumb question why do you add salt to the tanks? There is lot of debate for and against the using of salt so this question came to my mind. It will be very helpful if you just explain it a bit.
Hey,I’m Michael in Saint Augustine Fl.Love your channel.I have a 40 Gal Stock Tub,filled with White Clouds.I have some fry in a floating breeder box,when should I place white Cloud Fry in with Adult White Clouds?3 are showing there silver color.
Joep, you remarked in a reply that bettas can resort to cannibalism and I wondered about that. I've seen it first hand now and my fry aren't quite 8 weeks old! Some of the bigger ones are exhibiting predatory behavior and at this point I can't even tell what sex they are. I guess that doesn't matter. I think I over feed them so I don't think it's hunger. Nature of the fish?
Too my experience this usually happens when there are big differences in size between the fry in a spawn. The larger fry in such case can eat the smaller ones. Dividing the fry over different tanks based on size can solve this problem and will stimulate a better development of the smaller fry. When a fish dies for another reason it usually will be eaten by the other fish the tank (usually starting with the stomach/eggs region). Hope this answers your question?
Distort Armor I never cycle any of my betta tanks as I do not use live plants and perform large waterchanges every 2-3 days. Fry are usually added 24 hrs after installing the tank.
Yes, my fish usually then eat live tubifex worms, small granulate. Depending on the size of the fish you can always cut the live food into smaller pieces to make it easier for the fry.
In these tanks ~40-60 one month old fry is no problem, but when they get bigger the fry will be divided over multiple tanks to promote a bigger grow-out.
@@BettaTerritory I mean a tank like this is not cycled, so you must do frequent water changes. The betta fish are used to this, but won't it be a problem for other species?
Tsi Tsu only have experience using the same methods guppies & endler hybrids, which both have no problems. I can imagine that this way is not suitable to species which are less able to adapt to a wide range of waterparameters.
I transferred my fry in my 10 gallon aquarium into my 55 gallon tote pond.

whats the purpose of that green threads? are they used to mimicking aqua plants? where to get those? thanking in advance
MET ZA this is filter material called Eheim Fix. In my tanks it does not have a filter function, but functions as a hide-out for the fish.
Very Nice vidéo ! why add salt? salt minerals? or cooking salt?

@@BettaTerritory it does very well. Thank you
does betta necessarily need air pump/filter
very nice :) thanks and still thinking of some nice betta for me here in crete:)
Excellent video, can you do one on feeding fry from free swimming to adults to get the best growth?
Lucas Fletcher Thank you for the suggestion 👍.
How many gallons is the tank?
The tanks are ~30L so about ~7,5 Gallon.
Ohh so is it ok to put my betta fry in my 5gallon tank? And the bigger ones in the 2.5 gallon tank? Cuz they are still a half month old :)
Do you need to mature the water (complete nitrogen cycle) first before adding the fries?
Distort Armor I never cycle any of my betta tanks as I do not use live plants and perform large waterchanges every 2-3 days. Fry are usually added 24 hrs after installing the tank.
when the time you transferred them are they now ready to eat some mosquito larvae?
Yes, my fish usually then eat live tubifex worms, small granulate. Depending on the size of the fish you can always cut the live food into smaller pieces to make it easier for the fry.
Do you always have so many different sized fish in one spawn?
Shey's Betta Not always. This is depending on spawn-size but also can differ from spawn to spawn.
Have you ever followed Green Aqua?
how many 1 mounth age betta fry can growing this tank ?
In these tanks ~40-60 one month old fry is no problem, but when they get bigger the fry will be divided over multiple tanks to promote a bigger grow-out.
Where can I order those green fake plant like that
Kue Yang this is filter material called Eheim Fix. In my tanks it does not have a filter function, but functions as a hide-out for the fish.
Is this method suitable only for the betta or other fish fry as well?
No problem to use this type of filtration and tanks for many different species.

@@BettaTerritory I will try it out on my molly fry.
Much less fry ?
What is the reason?
Not sure what you mean? Please rephrase.
