Does male betta eat fry if they are not removed or separated from fry? Well, this is an interesting question... Let's have a discussion. Many hobbyists on betta fish breeding will separate the male betta from the fry when the fry can swim on their own, usually 4 or 5 days old. Then what happens if the male betta fish is left to take care of the betta fry until a certain age? The question of whether or not the male separated from the fry, it depends on each other's choices. Of course, there are advantages to both types of action. Okay, before we go on, now it's a good idea to agree first, to have good faith to the male betta fish. So this male betta fish actually does something based on or follows his instincts naturally. One example is that male betta fish often sort eggs or fry in an effort to maintain the survival of his next generation. For example, when the male betta is guarding the eggs, it turns out that the male betta eats most of the eggs and leaves only a few eggs. Now the eggs that are eaten are eggs that are not fertilized or attacked by fungus or it do not enter the criteria for the male betta version. And for example in fry care, male betta fish will actually only eat fry that are weak, sick or disabled. It is also common for male fish to eat most of the fry in too small spawning containers. This is the instinct of the male to leave the fry with an amount that is adjusted to the area of ​​​​the available container. Everything is done by the male betta instinctively for the sustainability of the next generation. But this is my opinion and it could be wrong. So if you have a different opinion, it's fine as long as it's logical and makes sense. Hope it is useful, #bettafishbreeding #fishfight #bettafish
