I can't get any infusoria or BBS right now so is there any other thing I can feed the baies when they get here? Like boiling an egg and uing the yolk?:hypnotized:
What to feed baby bettas when they arrive?

you can use the egg, but it makes one heck of a mess and you'll be doing more water changes than are ideally necessary.
microworms are a great first food for bettas, but you want to get a hold of your culture at least a few days before the bettas hatch out of the eggs, and split it into at least two containers (preferably three), so that if one culture crashes you aren't left with none.
i've read about some breeders using hikari 'first bites'. you might try picking some of that up too.

Its been while since ive raised bettas but i feed them microworms and hikari first bites like BFM said. You can take the male out once they are free swimming, unless he tries to eat them, then remove him immediately.
Oh i forgot, you can get hikari first bites from most of your lfs. I get mine from jack's pets, you may not have one around you thow.
I was looking at petsupermarket, not the best sore, and they have it! This is my first time raising betta fry and I want all of them to survive!
not necessarily true. i have read about breeders that use nothing but good clean dechlorinated water.
the dad betta, if he is doing his job properly, will fan the eggs with his fins to keep the water flowing around them and that should keep fungus at bay.
