Help my betta fry keeps on sinking, he can’t stay up for long and when he tries to swim he sinks to the bottom

Posted on May 9, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I have a 5 week old betta fry, he is over half an inch and has been doing well until now. He keeps on sinking, he shoots up to the top for air then will sink back down. When he tries to swim he only declines back to the bottom. He stays on the bottom or sometimes lays on the heater or filter, sideways and gasping it seems. What do I do?! I feed my fish and none of the other have problems like this. I feed the fry microworms, baby brine shrimp (freshly hatched within 12 hours) and some atison’s betta starter. he is my biggest fish and I’m really worried about him. Help!

What do I feed my betta fry?! Fish have already spawned and eggs will hatch within 24hrs.?

I have two half moons I have spawned, but it turns out my infusoria colony is a bacteria colony, that will most likely kill the fry. I have some wardey’s baby fry food for egglayers and livebearers that I used for my guppy fry it’s a gell and I also have hikari first bites and some other baby fish food. Microworms are not an option at the moment and neither are viniger eels, i might have an infusoria culture from ym guppy fry tank, it’s green water with some algae. I also have some baby brine shrip that are frozen and also some that I can hatch but I know I have to wait a few days before they can eat brine shrimp. Please help!

my fry dont seem to be too interested in these 2 types of food. when they are fed live microworms or vinegar eels they just attack them the same thing when i was feeding live brine shrimp. i dont know maybe they eat it later on when it falls to the bottom but im not sure so i continue to add microworms. i see the fry grab the frozen brine shrimp then spit it out. any suggestions
