Betta Fry Development: From Day 1 to Show size!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- This video will give you an impression of the average growth rate & development of the fry in my "Betta Territory" from day one to show size!
The fry featured in this video are from two spawns:
- BT270819A - Yellow HMPK male x darkbody yellow HMPK female: www.bettaterrit...
- BT270819C - Platinum white HMPK male x steel blue HMPK female: www.bettaterrit...
Because the color of the parents of both spawns is so different it is not problem to let the fry grow up together as I can trace their heritage easily back based on their color phenotype.
The color of the offspring is depending on the genetic traits the parents are carrying and how they are inherited. More information on this can be found in the following videos:

I watch this every week to make sure my fry are growing at a good rate 🤣
Omg same 😂
Same ate 😆
Am also , same
same HAHAHAHA
Thank you, happy to hear you find this video useful. Thank you for your support 🙏.
After keeping fish for 18 years, bettas are still my favourite
Great to hear that! Bettas are just amazing fish and can not imagine a life without them anymore.
I appreciate you for making this video! I had just rescued two very young Betta fry earlier today (December 28, 2020) and was desperately trying to find the age of these two youngsters. They're both the same length (roughly 1.125"), although Dip seems slightly older than Dot. Since doing more research, I have since concluded that Dot is likely 5-6 weeks old, Dip being around 7-8 weeks old. So, again, I must thank you for sharing your experience and informative video! 😁
Thank you 🙏.
I can't begin to tell you how happy and satisfying this video is.
Thank you 🙏.
Cute you can tell that they love your attention.
I watch this every day just for my fish growth!
Thank you for the complete guide from fry to show size.... We need more video like this... Keep it up!!!
Thank you for your reaction 🙏.
Adorable kinda like baby chickens but don't have to worry about predators..they respond to a kind voice especially when it's time to eat.
So informative! Thanks! A few questions. How large should grow out tank be? Is 10gal enough? How do you maintain the jars after separating the males? Daily water change?
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. With respect to your question on tanksize there is not one universal answer which applies to all. My own tanks are relatively small (~30L). But my spawns are divided over multiple tanks (often based on the size of the fry) in order to prevent the tanks from being too crowded.
In order to get an impression of how I chance water in my Betta Territory, please have a look at the following video: ruclips.net/video/zEGMtBiRZ84/видео.html
I hope this information is useful to you.
Solid
I have about 200 fry that hatched six days ago. I've been feeding them baby brine shrimp and Hikari first bites. So far, so good. I'm wondering what to do with them all later on..
Same feeling
Can we get an update please.. how did you manage 200 fry... Did they all survive??
this is very interesting! if the betta we have follows this similarly, shes only about 8 to 9 weeks old, shes tiny compared to our older male betta
Best video ever watched on betta cycle.
Thank you 🙏.
Awesome video, honestly one of the best I have seen so far. Have few Q - how often do you feed your fry? Some do it 3 times a day - some every 3 hrs. Second - in video on water change I saw that your younger fry does not have air filter - at what stage do you put in the tank? And last - have you used grindal worm to feed your fry? I just been using it and it works great for me because I take worms and and add cup of water to them and then rise it with through same sieve as for vinegar eels and get tiny grindal worm ,so even the smallest fry can eat it and worms live up to 4 days in the water. really hope to hear what you think and hope to see more videos on raising fry
Thank you for your taking the time to leave a comment. In general I feed by fish usually two times a day (morning and evening). I do not use any filtration in my spawning tanks, I add a small sponge filter when the fry are about 4 weeks of age. I have no experience with feeding grindal worms myself. Good luck raising your fry.
@@BettaTerritory thank you! Follow up on it - what about air ? Do you use air stone at any point? And what about light? How long is fry has lights? Read studies that light 24-7 helps fish to grow faster and stronger
No
@@KILLERGAMING-zg5dy yes
Hey so I got a male and a female betta fish two days ago and they already laid eggs yesterday. It's first time owning fishes and I'm trying to get it right. I separated the female fish because that's what all my research said. But I don't really know where to go from here. When do I seperate the Male fish? How long do the eggs take to get to the first stage you showed? Also I got a tiny bowl for the fish because I didn't anticipate them laying eggs so when can I transfer them to a bigger tank so they can grow adequately? It would really great if you can answer me. I'm super new at this and I really want to do this right.
Congratulations on your first spawn. You can find the answers to your questions in the following article on my website: www.bettaterritory.nl/BT-Breedingmain.htm
I hope this is of any help. Good luck raising your fish.
It's a little late for trying to do things right. It sounds like you weren't prepared to breed them.
Big mistake
How did the hatching go?

Is there such a thing as an aquarium so large or built in such a way that it can house more then one male Betta and multiple females? Not thinking about doing it just wondering because Bettas are usually in such small tanks.
Bettas are solitary animals which in their natural habitat live in shallow pools which are often poor in oxygen. It therefore is no problem to keep Bettas in smaller (nano)aquaria ranging from 2-30 liter as long as they are kept at constant temperature and provided with quality food and regular water changes. Square aquaria/jars are preferred above round bowls/jars. It is not advisable to keep a male together with one or multiple females for a longer time. Off course exceptions always exist but in general this will lead to unnecessary stress and damage due to chasing and fights. In case you want to breed Bettas it is highly recommended to prepare a seperate spawning tank and to gather all information possible in order to know what to expect and to prevent dissapointments.
I saw a large indoor pond that a person had built in his home on Reddit. He said it was 100+ gallons. It was built like a koi pond in the floor. It was planted with a lot of aquatic and semi-aquatic plants. He said he keeps two male and five female bettas. I do not know if this works out, and I'm not recommending it... but he seemed pretty experienced.
Betta Imbellis (Peaceful Betta) can be kept in groups.
I don’t think u can
People have done it. There's a RUclipsr who has like a 75 gallon densely planted with 2 males and multiple females, but I can't quite remember her name.
My first batch of fries has delayed growth but now I monitored them and I see them grow everyday also I have a second batch Wich is 2 weeks old and this is the exiting part because I know all the steps for them to take care of them
Don’t mind me being confused... if they’re all raised together do they not fight? When do they start fighting?
Thank you for asking your question. The fry are raised together up to the point where the first males start to become territorial. It is therefore important to closely observe the behaviour of your fish. Personally I usually jar my fish at an age of 2,5-4 months (depending on growth rate/development and behaviour), see 4:50 min in the video. I hope this answers your question?
@@BettaTerritory I have a question too do males and females fight with each other too?
@@prashantpatil6013 females don't but some males will but if you want to keep a female and a male together you must have 2 females also make sure you have alot of hiding spots for the female if you have only one female the male might chase the female and it will be stressed
Also you need 10 to 20 gallon tank
There's always that 3 fry's that grows very fast than the rest 😂 I got this fry's rn and they're doing good healthy babies
This is what ive been waiting for... A video like this!!!
Gorge tops nice to read your enthousiastic reaction, thank you 🙏.
Awesome video. Our fry is on the 3rd day.
Thank you 🙏. Congratulations with your spawn. Do you already have some food ready when they enter the free-swimming stage?
Thanks for this video it helped me a lot and please provide the link for the betta fry food also😁

Waow!!! Beautiful!!! Who was the parents of the frys? Do you have a vidéo of them!😊 Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for leaving a comment 🙏.
The fish in this video are from two spawns and that could be mixed as they have distinct colors which makes them easy to trace back from which spawn they come from. In order to promote a better grow-out fish of both spawns where housed together and divided over several grow-out tank.
The fish shown in these videos are from:
- BT270819A: www.bettaterritory.nl/BT270819A.htm
- BT270819C: www.bettaterritory.nl/BT270819C.htm

Superb bro , thanks alot
Welcome 😊
Good video..
Hi ... I m nilantha i like your vidio and it s gave me to lot of things thanks for that. I have a quaction . can i know whithing how many days can we use (the fish we use to breeding) to next breeding? I think you could understand my quaction .thank You .
Depending on the growthrate, Bettas already can be spawned at 3-4 months of age. But personally I want my fish to be fully developed before I spawn. At 3-4 months most young fish look very balanced, but I also want them to be balanced throughout their entire lives. I therefore personally spawn my fish usually between 7-12 months of age.
More on this here: www.bettaterritory.nl/BT-AABselectivebreeding.htm
Very well... i love this video
Thank you 🙏
Most excellent video.
Have you considered telling people that breeding any fish shouldn't be done unless they know what they're doing and are prepared?
Thank you 🙏. I always explain this when people want to start, this however was not the direct goal of this video. Here on my website you can find a full overview of the information I share regarding breeding Bettas (including some important considerations they should make before starting): www.bettaterritory.nl/BT-Breedingmain.htm
@@BettaTerritory it's very good that you have expressed the importance of being a responsible pet owner.
Pet owners should do their research before they buy any pet.

@@lilgee6766 thank you for watching, I hope the video was usefull for you 🙏.
So amazing sir i ilove bettafish too
Is Eggyolk Good for fry bettas?
Hi there, love your work. Some of my fry are struggling to support their bottom half at the 3 week stage like you mentioned in the video. Is this pretty normal as the swim bladder develops towards the peduncle then? Does it generally resolve? Or is this something I should be addressing by feeding less. Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply. I think all hobbyists encounter these problems from time to time. In my opinion this problem is caused by the fact that the swimbladder is not fully stretched towards the peduncle. In young fish it is easy to watch the development of the swimbladder. In the first 3-6 weeks, the swimbladder need to stretch itself along the spine from the stomach towards the peduncle. When this does not happen, it will be impossible for the fish to swim properly and you will get a so-called belly slider. I personally do not think it is genetic but more an environmental thing related to feeding.
In some cases SBD solves itself in young bettas in the first month, but when the fish gets older to my experience the chance of solving this is nearly zero.
By altering the feeding regimen I think I have quite good results so far in solving this in the first few weeks. By seperating the youngsters affected with SBD at a young age and by feeding them very minimally with chopped tubifex I have gained good experiences. Yes, their growth will be a bit slower initially but in my own experience they usually will catch completely when their swimbladder has recovered (read: stretched towards the peduncle). This can take 2-3 weeks. So oberserve them closely for the coming time.
In the following video you can see how I 'cut/chop' the tubifex at 1:15 min. This method also works with live or frozen blood worms:

Hope this is of any help to you. Good luck 🤞!
@@BettaTerritory Thanks so much for replying! Very useful info
Thank you for your guidance ❤️

Joep, I think someone asked how much light fry need every day but I can't find your answer now.
Please answer the question again.
Thank you for posting another excellent video. Sincerely 👏
The lights in my fishroom are on from 7-10h and 18-23:30h.
@@BettaTerritory Thanks Joep
Watching this making me sad n nervous because my fry size isnt up to this clip standard. I hope my fry is okay,at 7 weeks now,half of them is around 0.8cm to 1cm meanwhile another half is barely half of cm. 😭😔😔
This video shows the average size of my spawns at the various stages of development, some spawns grow faster, others slower. Many factors can be of influence here (like temperature, number of fry, etc.). When you can observe the fry is eating and that they show growth I would not worry too much. What are you feeding them?
Great channel and video Joep!
Do you have any experience with breeding wild type bettas?
When I compare my smaragdina fry with the ones in your video, my fry didnt seem to have the fase of not being able to support whole body during swimming with the swim bladder stretching.. can you share your experience?
@vredeling Thank you for your support 🙏.
How old are your fry at the moment?
About 35 days freeswimming now. They're different sizes, but you can already see a stretched blatter on the big ones (1- 1.5cm). They also have black horizontal stripe alrdy.
The smaller ones I can see the blatter still about 25% or so. But with daily observation I never saw one fry developing but struggling to swim upright? Kept me wondering...
HI Sir , it is really an excellent video , when fries starts swimming freely after 3 days, what you will feed from 3 to 10 days , will the fries start eating brine shrimp from beginning itself ?
Thank you 🙏. At 1:05 min of the video the fry has entered the free swimming stage, I then feed vinegar eels and newly hatched BBS. Usually the fry will start eating BBS without problems but it also is depending on the size of the BBS and the size of the fry (don't breed your fish too young/immature).
Nice video keep it up. I have betta fries I feed them bbs they 9 days old. Hopefully I raise them to fully grown bettas
How did it go? That was a year ago....
Cool steel betta
I love steel blue too ❤👍!

I have a question, you bred 2 mustard gas but the baby fry that comes out of it are mostly pure blue and mostly yellow, but didnt inherit the blue and yellow mixed colors from their parents, why did that happen?
I did not cross two mustard gas fish 😉. The fry featured in this video are from two spawns:
- BT270819A - Yellow HMPK male x darkbody yellow HMPK female: www.bettaterritory.nl/BT270819A.htm
- BT270819C - Platinum white HMPK male x steel blue HMPK female: www.bettaterritory.nl/BT270819C.htm
Because the color of the parents of both spawns is so different it is not problem to let the fry grow up together as I can trace their heritage easily back based on their color phenotype.
@@BettaTerritory oh wait sorry i actually watched video from someone breeding two mustard gas fish before this vid and i kinda thought it was the same video xD im so stupid thanks for reminding
@@janpatrickmadronero4719 no worries. Hope you enjoyed the video nevertheless. Thank you for watching 🙏.
Why does my betta fries stay at the bottom of the container even though they are already 3 day old? Pls notice me
This can vary a bit from spawn to spawn. They are probably looking for food. What are you feeding them?
Hey dude! Im just wondering, how much gallons is ur growth out tank for ur betta?
I second that question ...🤔
Thx 🙏
Can you jar them up at 2 months age???
This will depend on the growth and the behaviour of the fish. Personally I prefer to jar my fish as big as possible but off course you will have to keep an eye on their behaviour. When a male becomes too dominant it is time to jar. I jarred the first fish from the fry in this video around 3 months of age (see the section at 4:50 of the video).
Betta Territory okay I really rally appreciate it I just Jared mine and hopefully come out
Do you just buy them and breed them right away or do you wait until the male wants to breed☹☹☹☹replyyyyyy!!!
I mainly aim to breed selfbred fish but sometimes purchase new fish. When you consider to breed your fish make sure you are well prepared and that your fish are in optimal condition: www.bettaterritory.nl/BT-Breedingmain.htm
Hi,what a great content
Also, what is the breed of their parent?
Because some of your spawns are yellow solid and coopper.
Are their parent different?
Thank you
The fish in the video are from two different spawns which grew up together. Here a link to their full spawn-logs:

What type of my betta,his color is there head is black but there half color body is blue and the tail is blue, my fish is male
The fish in this video are steel blue. When the head is not colored they are referred to as 'black head' when the head is also (partially) colored steel blue they are referred to as 'mask'. I hope this answers your question?
Nice info..
I have Avatar gold and moster amazing..
This is really a good video. I just started having bettas as my pet fish. Currently I have two. Both are males (jack and red). I would like to know how often should i change their water? As of now, i am doing it once a week. Is that okay?
Thank you Vanessa 🙏. Nice to hear you have two Bettas youself. How often you should change their water is also depending on the way you keep them (housing and feeding frequency). Personally keep my individually housed fish in bare 2.5-3L jars on a constant temperature (some are in a drip system). Here I siphon the bottom and change 40-60% of the water every 2-4 days. Can you tell me a bit more about how they are housed and how often and what you are feeding them?
Betta Territory my first betta is in a 2.5 gallon tank and the 2nd one is in a 5 gallons. Both tanks have aquaplants in the hope to make them happy. I feed them atleast once or twice a day. I use the maxflo pellet in the morning like 6 to 8 pcs then late after noon i would give them tubifex worm (freeze dried)..
For the water, i use tap water 💦 and then i would drop some methylene blue (drops would be according to their tank size) and then i always make sure they have talisay dried leave.
What is the average number of fry, die off to expect and males to female ratio? Great video
With good care and feeding quality foods most of the fry will survive. It is impossible to say anything regarding male/female ratio per spawn. On average it will approach 50/50 when you would average results of a large number of spawns. But in individual spawns this will vary with sometimes extremes of 100% males and 100% females.
How often should I feed baby bettas from 1-3 days old?
I personally start feeding when the fish have entered the free-swimming stage and the father has been removed. This usually happens 1-2 days after hatching when the yolk-sac has been absorbed.
After this I feed vinegar eels for 1-3 days with and then switch to newly hatched BBS. I feed two times a day (morning and evening). I hope this is of any help to you. Good luck!
thanks for this. I am a newbie. Thought I had something wrong. live guppies are bigger in 1 hour than a betta at 20 days. My all natural unplanned, mismatched couple (giant crown tail female, and "little" veil tail male) on a whim last minute decision to help the pair that mated in a community tank ended up with just 10 monsters. Brutal natural selection. I even used a maxwell house plastic jug and suction cup cut in a way to catch the babies if they fell ...last second. They all born in a full to the top 20gallon long with enemies. LOL. Java moss from ebay showed up the day they hatched. They are still using it at day 20. The colors and shapes emerging already tell me there is only 2 petites..the rest went huge. Cannot wait to see the adult diversity.
Thank you for watching & leaving a comment 🙏. Good luck raising your 'monsters' 😄.

Do you use several green, plastic wires in the aquarium to protect the less aggressive fish?
This material is Eheim Fix. It is normally used in mechanical filters. In my spawning and grow-out tanks it does not have a filter function, but it provides a hide-out for my fish.
Can u mix breed different type of Betta??
There are many different Betta species. These can not all be interbred. The species within the Betta splendens complex (Betta splendens, imbellis, mahachaiensis, smaragdina and stiktos) can be interbred although not all crosses will result in viable offspring.
Domesticated Betta splendens or showbettas exist in many different color- and finnagevariations. These can be mixed although responsible breeders only do these crosses with a certain goal (improvement of color/form and/or the development of a new variation). I hope this answers your question a bit?
love seeing their development over time, nice video!👍
Thank you for your comment 🙏.
When to start feeding frys??
You should start feeding the fry when they have entered the free-swimming stage when the yolk-sac has been fully absorbed. Usually 2-3 days after hatching. Personally I use vinegar eels and newly hatched BBS for this.
Would all of them have the same colour? If they do would they be the same as the parents?
The fry featured in this video are from two spawns:
- BT270819A - Yellow HMPK male x darkbody yellow HMPK female: www.bettaterritory.nl/BT270819A.htm
- BT270819C - Platinum white HMPK male x steel blue HMPK female: www.bettaterritory.nl/BT270819C.htm
The color of the offspring is depending on the genetic traits the parents are carrying and how they are inherited. More information on this can be found in the following videos:

How many times to feed per day say at 12.29 weeks old?
I personally feed my fish two times per day.
At what age or size should you start to jar bettas
Thank you for asking your question. The fry are raised together up to the point where the first males start to become territorial. It is therefore important to closely observe the behaviour of your fish. Personally I usually jar my fish at an age of 2,5-4 months (depending on growth rate/development and behaviour), see 4:50 min in the video. I hope this answers your question?

In how many months betta female can give eggs.. For breeding
Depending on the growth rate Bettas already can be sexually active at 2-3 months of age. Personally I however would not recommend to breed our fish at such a young age. Although our fish are growing throughout their whole life most of them usually are reasonably developed around at 5-6 months of age. Certain important characteristics, both positive and negative, are not visible in young fish but only appear when a fish reaches maturity. Some examples are for instance vitality, overall balance, fin curling, ability to hold their finnage, susceptibility and resistance for disease, rosetail influence, fin curling, etc. So it is important to keep in mind that when breeding fish at a young stage,there is a risk to overlook certain important characteristics you might not want to fix in your line. I hope this information is useful to you.

Is there any Substitute for baby brine shrimps? Can i feed them chopped flakes Or bloodworms?
Please someone reply coze by fry is 2 days old
Try feeding them crushed egg yolk but make sure to clean your tank afterwards cause it makes the water dirty and cloudy.
But how to change water, as the baby fry are so small, i have the same problem in my city live food or brine shrimp is not available, I used to give baby's crushed hikari & blood worms. Still thay look like 4-5 day old as how today they are the age of 34 days. Plz do reply
Good day! May I ask when is the good time to remove the male betta from the eggs? The eggs is starting to show its tail on the bubble. Thank you so much!Much love from the Philippines!
New subscriber here Sir. My son is actually the one who is trying his luck on breeding bettas. First time trying to pair and luckily the eggs now are starting to show its tail.
Welcome on board Catherine & Son! Nice to hear your son is attempting to spawn his pair. Regarding your question, I personally remove the male as soon as the fry starts to swim horizontally, the so-called free-swimming stage. This usually is 2-3 days after hatching. This is also the time I start feeding the fry.

Yes
Can I breed a crowntail male with a female plakat? My female is full with eggs and I read that if she does not lay them, the eggs will rot and she will die too..
It is not necesarry to breed a female when she is full of eggs. She will either release them (unfertile off course) or they will be absorbed in the body. It is important to prevent females from fattening up as this can cause them to become egg bound.
With respect to mixing tailtypes this is no problem, although the offspring will likely be an in-between form which do not match any of the showstandards. This might be something to keep in mind when breeding.
Hope this answer is of any help.
@@BettaTerritory thanks for replying again. I wasn't planning to breed my bettas, but I got worried after reading from some articles that the female would die if she's not allowed to breed.. So no breeding for her then, as you wrote that she will either lay them unfertilized or absorbed the eggs back.
Thank you for sharing.
I breeded alien wild male with hmpk copper female... Could you pls guess the result for me.. Very eager to see the result
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for watching 🙏.
Thank you for this video. It is really informative 👍
Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 🙏.
So basically..only start to feed them once reaching free swimming stage.
Correct, before that stage they still have a yolk-sac from which they derive food. When the yolk-sac is absorbed they will start to swim horizontally and can be fed. Good luck.
Nice
Great INFO !! Thanks
In which month is good to breed betta fish
This will depend on your location and equipment. Personally I located in the Netherlands (Europe) with warm summers but cold winters. I am breeding in an insulated shed in my garden where all tanks have heaters & covers to maintain a stable temperature (to prevent fluctuations). This means I can breed througout the year.
Great job with the video...very informative.
Thank you 🙏.
how to feed the betta fries?
Very nice. Thank you 😊
Which first food baby feeding tell me sir
I have mentioned the food I use per stage of development in this video. I hope this is useful to you.
Such a good video😇😇
Thank you 🙏.
But the question is how much fishes survive
I mean the Mortality rate?
With good care (e.g. quality water, frequent water changes, quality food and a constant temperature) the majority of a spawn will survive.
This growth is slow! I suggest In the first 3 days, baby hatched brine shrimp, from the 4th Moina, from day 12 moina and Cut black worm, after a month only black worm. You can feed yr fries up to 3 to 4 days if wanting to boost the process. The pace will create big fish in the 2nd month
There always will be breeders with a different method and/or faster growth. As mentioned many factors are at play here besides food type and frequency of feeding. This video shows the average development of my spawns and I am happy with this development. My fish grow out to be vital, healthy big fish (bodysize 4.5-5 cm as an adult) within 5-7 months of age.
Me in the more favorable condition in terms of weather, food, water... As i live in vietnam so i totally understand how difficult a breeder may face in non-tropical places. Thanks for making the clips.
Great video!
Thank you 🙏.
Sir where to find infusoria cause my fry don't grow they are no 3 weeks old and there sizes is like 3 day old fry plss help me cause I'm just a biggener
Put them in a bigger tank they produce three ones which stops the growth of others around them in small spaces
Will these fish that have grown together fight with each other??
Yes, the males will start to show territorial behaviour when they mature and need to be kept individually in order to prevent unnecessary stress and damage and to promote a good health & development.
