It is better to try to feed the betta after about 3 days of successful hatching, because when they hatch successfully, they can't swim yet, so they can only stay on the original bubble nest and float. Even if the breeder feeds them at this time, they can't eat, so the breeder had better wait for 2-3 days, and then try to feed them after they learn to swim horizontally. In addition, when they first hatch, their bodies will carry some vitellotin, which is enough for them to absorb for 3 days, so it will not affect their health if they are not fed for 3 days.
2. How to feed betta fish just after hatching1. Food: After the small fish learn to swim horizontally, the breeder can try to feed them. But at this time, it is best to feed them some digestible foods, such as paramecium, shrimp eggs in good years, cooked egg yolks and so on. These foods are extremely digestible and will not burden their intestines and stomach.
2. Feeding frequency: The newly hatched betta fish needs a small amount of feeding several times, and the breeder can feed it three times a day, and each time it is 70% full. About one week after birth, the feeding amount can be reduced to twice a day, and 80% full each time.
3. Feeding method: Newly hatched betta fish are not very capable of eating, so it is best for breeders to put food close to them when feeding, so that they can easily catch food.
