Fish Fry
Submitted by Jeff on Fri, 04/21/2006 - 7:50pm.
For some time now I have been taking up the hobby of trying to breed my fish. This past summer I got my first betta (fighting fish) and decided to try my hand at raising babies. On my fist few tries I successfully got little fry swimming around but they didn’t make it to adulthood. Since then my luck has gone down hill. I have been trying different methods and techniques and finally yesterday my fish mated! Bettas can lay up to 300 eggs so it can get pretty hectic, but it seems that my fish only decided to have about 50 (It was their first try). The eggs are just starting to hatch now and my little guy is getting his first chance at being a good dad. Hopefully some fry will make it!

Ha! Interesting and funny.
Good luck!
Sounds like great fun
I have had many different collections--guppies who eat their young --need to segregate them from the adults, mice eventually kept in separate aquariums (male/female) because they are so successful but fun to watch them grow from babies to adulthood and even 20 frogs when we had a camp on the St. Lawrence. Your mom will remember that. I am very interested to hear if your fish make it to adulthood. But, I thought you were going to give me a recipe for Friday fish when I saw your headline--haha. Then, there was the unfortunate time I left a pregnant guppy on a heater too long to warm up her water...
