In the past few days I have gotten a male and female betta that I would love to breed. I have done this before but it has been a while. What types of foods should I feed them. Right now they are on blood worms but I do not have any other foods. Their colors are beautiful so I hope this works out well.

u can use frozen thats wat im doing my court ship on my bettas r going to be wed wen i put them together, hopefully i get some eggs this time. i heard that u can feed ur babies with cooked egg yolk but idk if that will work. if their virgins it will take some time for them to hav the eggs this is my second try so it may take 2 trys.

thanks for the info...frozen will definitely be easier to do...but i will have live baby brine shrimp because im hatching them myself...they're also what i plan to feed that babies when they're big enough....what do you feed that babies...are bbs ok the whole time or do they need something else when they are smaller?

A word of caution. Microworms have been proven to cause deformaties in the ventral fins. Your better off starting an infusoria culture. They only need to be fed this for the first 3 days then they can go to BBS.
