kiwiraka Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'm not sure if bettas raise their young? But fish can often eat their first couple of spawns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss_boy86 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 ive had mine eat their eggs before, usually with first time breeders (in experienced), just try again in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Males may eat the eggs for the following reasons: The fry are deformed or weak The male has not been conditioned well enough prior to breeding and is hungry The male is what is called an 'egg eater' and will always be The owner keeps 'checking' on the nest/fry/male and is spooking the male fighter - more often happens with young new breeders. Are you sure he ate them and isn't just holding them? Many times I have thought newly hatched fry have been eaten only to see them in the tank two - three weeks later.
