I have raised some (6) betta fry. First time. However, they are not growing. They are still about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long (9 weeks old). Do you have any suggestions?
 
What are you feeding them???
Try feeding high protein food if your not already doing that.
Try baby brine shrimp

And micro worms.
 
Frequent water changes are also a necessary ingredient in getting your fry growing. You may already be doing enough if you are feeding heavily to gain growth but if not, it is time to start.
 
I have been feeding them microworms two times a day. I also change all the water about every week in addition to adding or changing 1/4 of the water about every other day. I just started feeding them grindal worms along with the microworms. Don't know if they are eating them yet. They have been put in individual cups about a week ago. I just don't know what I need to do.
 
You do 100% water changes?
 
Wow, I've never done a 100% water change before! BTW, congrats on the babies!! Have you tried bloodworms, are they to young for that? I know when I had bettas mine LOVED bloodworms.

Good luck!! :)
