@mrp1119 I'm not exactly sure. I was on a tour. I probably should have paid more attention.

What do they feed the newly hatched fry?

[Bettarazzi]

@Asianleful In the first few days after they are free swimming I try to make sure there's a variety of small foods like vinegar eels and microworms. I also add some plants which will have microorganisms that the fry can eat. After 3 or 4 days I start adding newly hatched baby brine shrimp.

@wildnotmild1 Comparing human and fish living preferences isn't entirely useful. Can a human live in water? We have no way of knowing if a fish is happy or sad. They don't smile or talk to you. We can however, observe signs of physical health. If the fish has bright eyes, good colour, doesn't succumb to disease, eats well and is willing to spawn then we can conclude that the living conditions are adequate.

@TAC412 Actually they spend quite a lot of time changing water every day. Unfortunately they had finished changing water for the day when I got there and I didn't manage to get a video showing them changing water. But they showed me the device they use which is a kind of frame which holds about 10 bottles at a time and stops the fish from falling out. They then use a modified watering can with 10 spouts so they can quickly refill the 10 bottles.

@hmglis I wonder the same thing! There're so countless many bottles and I dont think they'd spend time changing water. One thing I know for sure is that, a betta is the toughest freshwater fish ever!
