    Infusoria is
    absolutely one of the best foods for newly hatched betta fry and egg layers.
    The first few days of life are incredibly important for newly hatched fry – if the fry do not receive adequate nutrition during the early stages of their life they may fail to develop properly and could even starve to death before they grow large enough to accept other foods like micro worms and vinegar eels.
    Having a ready supply of infusoria can make the difference been success and failure for an entire hatching of young fry.
    Infusoria is a collective term for minute aquatic creatures such as ciliates, euglenoids, protozoa, unicellular algae and small invertebrates that exist in freshwater ponds. The two photos above give you some idea of the various types of infusoria.
    When using infusoria as food for fry you need to keep in mind that infusoria are microscopic so even a small amount of water from the culture jar will contain many infusoria. For this reason, it is important that you do not add too much infusoria water to your fry tank at one time because the uneaten infusoria will die and could pollute your tank. The easiest way to harvest infusoria is to use an eye dropper (included with your order) to collect a small amount of water from the top of the culture and to squirt it directly into the fry tank. You should plan to feed your fry small amounts of water from the infusoria culture at least twice a day so they will grow quickly.
