What happened to my betta fry?!?

Question

i added some water today... and the bottem of the tank is very dirty with food, but i can't clean it cuz the fry are only a week old and i don't wanna accidently suck one of them up.

the fry are just laying at the bottem of the tank... not moving.. some are just sitting at the top doing nothing

is this okay

and how can i clean the bottem of the tank?

snails? what kind?

Answer 1

I'm thinking they're dead.

Answer 2

that is natural,they are to small to swim that much.My fry did not move until 7 days after they hatched.feed them brine shrimp and some pellet food when a are a few days old.do not worry,if they do not swim it is natural.

                                         hope this helps,

Answer 3

You can put them int a smaller container for a Few minutes...while cleaning the tank  then put them back.

Answer 4

well the ones that are floating are probably dead and i think you should ask a worker at a pet store about how to clean the tank.

Answer 5

how cold is your water? the ideal temp is 80. when fish are too cold the become lathargic. snails are great. walmart! lol
