well my albino eggs just hatched!! soo excited! but the problem is there in a unheated betta tank with a airstone.. will the survive the coldness?

Um, it depends what the temp in the tank is...if its less than about 20 then i dont like their chances. I would just head to the local fish shop and grab a small heater, prob cost $25-30

I agree with Doug,
If you can't acquire a heater fast, you could maybe get by with a lamp directed into the tank, If it is a small tank, say less than 10L(a plastic tub will do even)
this might buy you a few days...again I stress "Maybe"

Gotta get them into a bigger tank. they wil pollute the small one in a heart beat.

ive counted 64 so far. all good there about 1 1\2 cm long and not one fatality. is it ok to feed algea wafers at this size?

Subject: Re: Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Mon Oct 25, 2010 12:55 am

Congrats, thats a good number.
Your better off feeding Cuc or Zuc, as their first foods, Feed algae wafers after two weeks,
I wouldn't put them in with he Betta he might eat them..
