anyone know where got sell cheap bbs? i only know bobby sell it. but is it really need to be store in freezer? i mean, below 5 degree celcius?
You can buy
Sera brand at jalan pasar for about RM5 i guess.
I'm using
Ocean Nutrition's brand, RM 50 for 50 g.
A friend bought for me from a fish shop at Ikano.
I like to use the particular brand because they're faster to hatch, deep orange in color and most important, the smallest newly hatched bbs i know.
You don't have to store them in a kaw kaw cold area, last time i just put in a bottle and put into a larger bottle containing some water.
They hatch just fine, but for safety better put it in a fridge, the veggies section.
Other than bbs, as we know we can use microworms too ( but i didn't cause i'm suck at it, they fries will be less survivors
).
In case that both of the above is not around, we can use....the egg yolk!
You guys can read the article with pictures by ex thai breeder here :
http://www.bettasocietymalaysia.com.my/for...php?f=16&t=5716For more cost effective way can also culture the infusoria...
Here's the step by step taken from the
eHow's site :
1. FILL THE JARS HALF-FULL WITH AGED WATER -- If you have an aquarium or an outdoor pond, use water from that. I have even used water from a plant vase -- there are likely lots of infusoria in that! Do not ever use tap water -- it has chemicals in it meant to kill infusoria!
2. CREATE AN INFUSION -- You're creating food for the bacteria that infusoria eats! Aha -- you didn't know you were creating your very own food chain, huh? Biology 101. :-) You can boil hay or grass in water and use the cooled "tea." Or one rabbit food pellet per jar could be used. Some infusoria growers puree lettuce leaves, and some squeeze a handful of aquarium plants (and infusoria). Use your imagination.
3. ADD THE COOLED INFUSION TO EACH JAR -- Let the jars stand for several days. Do not place them in the sun, but the warmer the water (up to about 80F), the faster the cultures will grow.
4. CHOOSE YOUR BEST CULTURE -- Shine a flashlight into each jar and look for cloudy water. The dust-sized particles are your infusoria. Pick your best culture and clean out the others. Start new cultures and inoculate them with your most successful culture.
5. MAINTAIN YOUR CULTURES -- Infusoria eat even tinier bacteria. When you feed the bacteria, you're indirectly feeding the infusoria. Use your infusion water - or a tiny dab of powdered eggs or brewer's yeast makes a great food. If you're getting the Biology 101 bug, add some lettuce leaves and Apple snails or Colombian ramshorn snails, which eat large amounts of plant matter and their digested waste products will jump start and feed an infusoria culture. Your kids will be learning something as you feed your fish!
6. FEED YOUR FISH FRY -- Pour most of one of your infusoria cultures into your fry tank. Then add more water and powdered egg to restart your infusoria culture. This is why you have more than one culture jar going.
I hope it helps and there's always the
youtube's versions too.
As for me, i'm only using bbs for my newly born free swimming fries from day one.
Good luck and remember, feeding disorder is the ultimate killer of the younglings.
Happy spawning and raising 'em!
