Go back to yur safe secure comfy google group Nikki..........Stay away
from where the big league plays. Or your sensitivity is apt to get
bruised.

Once the babies are free swimming the male has to be removed, or as you
seen
they end up being a snack. If you can get another microworm culture
that is
best for them to eat, or maybe live or frozen BBS, are you sure your
culture
was dead, mine will last some time and you can start a new one with the
old
one before it dies, look at it in the light to see if any thing is
moving.
Feed small amounts several times a day, but its best to have some live,
small food. Keep temp around 80, keep water very clean. I use a turkey
baster to get stuff from the bottom of their tank, old food or what
ever
else is there. I am not sure why your cory cat died or what tank it
was in
so i am not sure what to tell you about that, was it with the betta's
or in
another tank?

All of the babies have been scooped into a net breeder using a cup

yesterday,
and Tony had probably eaten 3/4ths of his family.

The microworm culture I bought died (as did one of the cory cats I
have
in a 10 gallon, everything purchased from a very well-reputed lfs.

) So the babies are eating flake food crushed into a powder--as far
as I can tell they really are eating it, so maybe this will work.

I think I'll try this again but do it right next time!

Helo Guys! I am new to this and just started to breed my bettas. My
betta babies have just hatched about a week ago, so far so good. I
am
afraid to clean their tank or move them. My male has eaten most of
them. How can I do this without losing the last 6 I have?

Thanks, Deanna
