Title: Baby Fairy Shrimp (bfs)
bettas4me - June 3, 2007 10:41 AM (GMT)
This just might be the best fry (and adult) food to become available to the betta hobby in years.
Easy to hatch in "fresh" water, slow swimming so the fry can catch them, stays alive in fresh water until eaten, very nutritious (64% protein), and can be raised to adulthood in "green" water to feed adult bettas.
They are available from Blue Betta's web site. (Suporn)

Baby Fairy Shrimp ( BFS)
Monday, 26 March 2007
If it is very hard to get daphnia or any life food for your fry I strongly recommend you Baby Fairy Shrimp Egg (BFS). Very simple the most easiest way to feed your fry with this miracle thing. With the very small size of the BFS your betta fry and eat easily. The BFS can swim around in fresh water and can live with in your spawn tank so they will servive and stay until your fry eat them. Because BFS swim slowly around that is the best for the fry to catch and eat them. The BFS Egg can keep dry for years so when ever you want to feed your fry just simple follow the step below.
Very simple friend :)
The Baby Fairy Shrimp Egg you can keep dry for 1-2 years so it is your life food on your hand.
First, Prepare your glass tank. I use my betta jar which is 4x6x6 inc fill in with fresh water or your drinking water is also good. The water level is not higher than 10 cm and the water temperature is about 25-35 degree C.
Second, You just put a little bit BFS Egg about 1 tea spoon into the glass tank you prepared.
All the dry egg will floting on top.
You have to try deep all the egg into the bottom of the tank.
Third, Wait for 10 hours the BFS begin to hatch you may wait for a night the BFS will hatch more.
Now you can see the BFS swim around in the glass tank. To feed your fry just simply using plastic cable which you use for air pump suck them directly to the fry tank. Very simple and easy right. During you suck the baby shrimp out please becarefull to do not suck the hatched eggs to the fry tank. Because it is not good for your fry if they eat that hatched eggs they may be die. After you suck all the baby shrimp you have to remove all the water out and refill the new water again the unhatch eggs will start to hatch. The second time for hatching normally will give you higher percentage of the baby shrimp. You can do hatching process 3-5 times up to the quantity of eggs you apply.
Fairy Shrimp Baby swim around and ready for feed to your fry.
Adult Fairy Shrimp which can feed to your adult betta. They can servive with in your betta tank for sevaral day so you can feed your betta with fairy shrimp if the betta already eat full the fairy shrimp still servive and wait for your betta hungry again. The water in the betta jar will be clean because the adult fairy shrimp will eat the dust in the water of your betta jar.
The Fairy Shrimp is also very nice animal. Many people keep them as tropical fish. I will update more information later soon about to culture the fairy shrimp until they growing to adult size.

Notice : 1.) Don't use air pump during hatch.
2.) The first time hatch may give you very little baby shrimp don't worry it is because the egg keep quite long so they need the second, ...third.... hatch process.
3.) If you stay in Cold area you should give them heater to control the water temperature to 25-35 degree C. and give them light during hatch if you stay in dark room.
