Bouncing Babies | Tiny Betta Fish Fry
Like 4 Dislike 0 Published on 9 Feb 2017
My Marble Koi Betta Fish Fry. Today they have hatched ..so its their birthday!
After spawning the female was removed from the breeding tank and the male was left to tend to the eggs. It takes 20-48 hours for the fry to hatch depending on the temperature of the water.
When the babies are born the tend to move up and down. Ive heard some betta breeders refer to them as bouncing babies because they move vertically near their nest. Especially if the bubble nest is disturbed. They will be like this for roughly 24 hours as their body is still attached to the yolk sack.
Here is a more in depth article you can read to learn about the development of betta fry: http://bubblesandbettas.blogspot.com/p/breeding.html
