If you are lucky enough to have reached this stage, then it’s time to take care of fry. Prepare a 10 to 15 gallon tank with heater and under gravel filter for fry to be moved into. Water should be from parents’ tank. Be very, very careful when doing this, as parents can be extremely protective and aggressive. The fry will quickly absorb their yolk sac and you will have to start feeding them live baby brine shrimp as food.

One thing you should carefully notice is legal issues. Some states do not allow sell or ownership of Piranhas at all. Other states require that you obtain a permit to sell or own a Piranha. Be sure to check to see if any local restrictions apply before purchasing your piranha.

Your betta should go for food right away, but if not, watch where food sinks, and what betta does. If more than 15 min he has not eaten food yet, remove food. Never let water go cloudy. If it is already, then change it, as cloudy water will threaten your betta’s health. Normally, small bowls or containers should be changed at least twice a week. Larger tank can be changed once a week. And notice if ammonia and nitrite levels are up roof, because both are very bad for your Betta. Also be wary of harmful bacteria they can ruin your fish life, but don’t kill of all bacteria in aquarium since a lot of bacteria is essential for a well functioning aquarium.

During pre-spawning period you can feed a wide variety of food, including blackworms, Grindal worms, fruit flies, brine shrimp, mosquito larvae and frozen blood worms (all are life except frozen blood worms). During this period adult fish may be fed 4 times per day or more depending on how close fish are to being placed into spawning tank.

You can start feeding your betta fry, 5 days after spawning. Feed fry several times per day, using a variety of foods (infusoria, boiled egg yolk, baby brine shrimp…) made up of small particles.
