betta fish , aka siamese fighting fish?

i recently put my feamle fighter ith my male fighter he built the nest etc and then squeezed the eggs from her within 24 hrs of them being put together my question is when the fry start to hatch how soon do i take the male from the tank (adult male aka the dad )? and what should i start to feed the young fry and how soon after the hatching should i feed the fry
Answers:
The female should be out of the spawning tank. Take the male out of the tank as soon as the fry are free-swimming, which is approxamately 36 hours after the eggs have been laid.

As for feeding the fry, unfortunately there is nothing you can do now.
Fry should be fed infusoria and microworms, both of which take two weeks to cutlvate. Betta fry will not eat commercial fry foods.

Good job on doing your homework before you bred your fish! You just killed 300 baby fish. Congrats.

The fish you bred were probably petstore veiltails too. -rolls eyes-

These are things you probably should have known before you did that.

this is only my opinion i think as soon as the female has a the eggs you should take the male out

.you remove the female becouse she will kill the babies,and the male will kill her to prevent her from doing so.
I suggest you join fishindex.com so we can better help you out,the fish section here on PetQnA.com is a joke.

You take the FEMALE out, not the male..the male protects and feeds the fry, not the female. He will try to kill her if she gets around the nest.

once you see the babies swimming take the male out he wont eat them but also hes hungry so he might. Put the nestlings in a ten gallon tank with some plants they'll eat the fungus and bacterial growing on the plants also feed brine shrimp
