First time betta fish breeders is always questioning about when to jar your betta fries. Base on experience of my friends below are a few tips for jarring betta fishes.
- Jarring can start from 2nd month onward. Fish length is around 3cm.
- If you breed your fishes in a large container like a pond, you wait till 3-4 months before jarring. Fish also grows faster in a large enclosure.
- Some breeder jar as early as possible to train their betta fish to be aggressive and this allows them to cull betta fries early.
- Referring to my first Dumbo betta spawn, I jarred the betta fries after 2 month 1 week from the day they hatch.
- More plants in the out grow tank will help reduce aggression and fin bitting.
- Jar as soon as you see aggression to minimize fins biting.
Me jarring estimate 120-150 betta fries.
For Singaporeans wondering where I get my jarring cups from, I got them from SKP. I bought 50 clear cups for around $5-6. This cups are slight more expensive as they are more rigid and clearer. Product code is “CUP-PET-12”
For thoses that have a bigger pocket, you can op for cny goodies container from liang teck plastic, they cost around $0.80-$1 per piece. They are also the supplier for the infamous SU 830 container that is frequently used by betta fish hobbyist for fish keeping.
