Frozn Or Live?

[Betta Keeper]

No stores around here sell the live BBS so would the frozen BBS be ok??

What does BBS stand for? LOL...Half of the abbreviations that are used in the forum I end up asking...

They would definitely provide the same amount of protein as the live ones. They just wouldn't arouse the same hunting instincts as moving food would; hardly a huge difference, since mine seem to have more than enough instinct on their own I use frozen bloodworms, myself, and they're received with great appreciation. You'll also find if someone can't get hold of live foods that most people will recommend using frozen instead; just thaw in a little hot water and you're all set to go Be careful to supplement such rich protein with fasting and/or fibre, though, just to keep your babies cleaned out

Here's the answer !



Atison's Betta Fry Starter

Top performance larval fish diet with high digestible energy. To be used from day 3 to the end of the first month.

• Nutritional complete food for young Betta fish that will help promote fast growth, optimal development and disease resistance.
• High protein content. No inclusion of terrestrial animal proteins.
• High HUFA and phospholipid content. High DHA/EPA ratio.
• Highly attractive for the fry.
• Excellent water stability with reduced sediment in the tank.
• Free-flowing floating crumbles.
• Contains vitamins A3, D3, E and C.

Finally, breeding Betta made easy. This food has been extensively tested and is the easiest way to raise your fry. Fry raised with a combination of Betta Starter for the first month and Betta PRO after that have outperformed any other feeding regimens in terms of survival rate of the fry and size of the adult Betta. The Bettas grow bigger but do not get fat.

You could always try hatching your own. A bottle of eggs is very cheap and will last you for a very long time. All you ned are eggs, salt, an empty 1L bottle and an airpump. Oh, and water of course!

Just remember when buying a prepackaged bottle of eggs that they are processed and packaged months before you get them and they are never tested for hatch-out quality. As always if you choose to buy eggs be sure that they have been recently tested for hatch-out quality and are guaranteed.

I have never had any problems with NTlabs eggs. I always have high hatch rates. I recently tested Waterlife's Artemia eggs with a 0 hatch rate

Might be best to avoid those ones... Although I'm now using them to feed some fry I have... Apparently it is just as nutritious and isn't harmful as they are shellless
