Betta fish fry water change must be done so that the fry are healthy and the growth of
the fry is stable.
The most common questions asked in this issue are when to change the water of the Betta
fish fry and how to make Betta fish fry safely or that the fry are not dying after changing
the water.
Hello Betta fish lovers, on this occasion I would like to discuss the issue of the importance
of changing water for Betta fish fry, the timing and method that I usually do with my
Betta fish fry.
Why must the fry water be replaced?
That's because the main factor affecting the health of your Betta fry and their growth
is water. If the water is damaged then the fry are not healthy, in fact, most of the
cases they die one by one, which is more frequent and happens is mass death.
For example, if we feed the fry with boiled eggs, it will directly pollute the water.
That's why when feeding Betta fry I never recommend giving them boiled egg yolks.
Although the death of Betta fish fry is not only caused by water, but the poor condition
of the water will make them susceptible to disease. In addition, damaged water will make
your Betta fry grow slowly.
When is the right time to change the water of Betta fish fry?
What spoils the water is the food the Betta fry don't eat as well as their droppings.
So when we see a lot of dirt, either from food scraps or from the feces of the fry itself,
then at that time we should change the water.
What I often do is when the fry are 2 or 3 weeks old, I start changing the water, I do
that if I treat Betta fish in a narrower container, for example an aquarium or other container
that is only 30 cm in size.
But if I care for them in a bigger container, then usually I will start changing the water
when they are one month old.
Now, if the fry are one month old, then I will often change the water, for example,
once every 3-4 days until they are grown or 2 months old. That is because fry that are
1 month old will excrete more dirt when compared to fry who are still in a matter of days.
How to change the water of Betta fish fry safely?
Many cases when we finish changing the water, the fry are dying. So that things like this
don't happen to your betta fish fry, then you have to prepare replacement water first.
This water infiltration should be one week before you change the water, the way is to
collect the water and leave it for one week, so that even better, you can add dry ketapang
leaves.
After the water is ready, we can replace the water. For this method of changing water,
I usually make a difference between fry who are only 2 weeks old and fry who are one month
old.
The tool I use is a hose, the length can be adjusted. If the fry are 2 weeks old I use
a hose with a small hole and I do it at night.
Why is it night?
Because when we insert the hose to suck the dirt at the bottom of the container the fry
will be safe from being sucked in, that's because most of the fry are on the surface.
If the fry are one month old, I use a hose with a larger hole so that the dirt is quickly
sucked in and I do it during the day, besides that I do suction from the bottom of this
container after I feed the fry. The goal is that they do not chase the end of the hose
that I point at the bottom of the container.
After the bottom is clean, then I will add the water that I have prepared according to
the water sucked, or even usually I add more than the sucked.
That's how I change the water for betta fish fry, and hopefully it will be useful for all
of you betta fish lovers around the world.
