Betta_BlackWater_Kit_AB_2011 Complete Betta Spawning And Rearing Kit
This Kit Is Available In The US And Puerto Rico Only
This complete kit includes everything needed to successfully spawn your Bettas or other BlackWater species. Everything you need to breed your fish and successfully raise the fry with zero to minimum losses comes complete in one box. This kit is huge! All you have to add is the fish. You will be absolutely amazed at how economically this kit is priced when you compare the cost to the different parts sold separately!
Here is what you get
Twenty Mixed Size Completely OrganicIndian Almond Leaves. Nine grams++ of Artificial Plankton and Rotifers APR
15 grams++ of ultra-fine spirulina powder Two ounces++ of Great Salt Lake decapsulated brine shrimp eggs
Four ounces of Fishguy's private blend fry starter meal Fifteen 7ml pipettes for feeding and transfering fry
I sell all of the components of this fry kit separately here on Aquabid at far greater cost than they are offered here in one package, so I'll give a brief description of each and this link to my auctions so you can read a detailed description of each in their separate offerings:
http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?disp&viewseller&Fishguy_1955
My Indian Almond Leaves are totally organic and come from one of the leading Asian suppliers who harvests and cures these leaves in a wholly natural manner without resorting to any of the chemical washes used by some Asian suppliers. You will receive fifteen mixed size leaves, which is more than enough for quite a few spawns. Please see the very detailed description of my leaves in the auctions referenced by the link above.
APR or Artificial Plankton and Rotifers is in my opinion and experience the best first food for fry of all species and particularly effective at cutting out losses due to starving out of small fry in those first few critical days after yolk sac absorbtion. It is extremely high in critical aminos and fatty acids as well as much needed protein. It has saved numerous spawns of bettas and extremely small fry such as celestial pearl danios and is always the first food for all of my fry. Simply an incredible food that is used by professional shrimp farmers to feed larval shrimp, and they do not get any smaller than that. It is also very effective feed for newly hatched brine shrimp should you choose to enrich them before feeding or attempt to grow them out. This auction includes one 9 gram++ snap-cap vial of APR which is enough for many spawns.
Fine ground spirulina powder is among the most nutritious foods on earth and is the fry food equivalent of a mega-multi-vitamin with an astounding 60% protein and aminos, as well as nutrients too numerous to list here but which you can view as part of my fry starter combo in the auction listings. When fed with APR it provides a one-two punch that will not only dramatically decrease fry mortality, but which will also provide your new fry with a growth spurt you have likely not experienced before. This auction includes one 15 gram++ of Spirulina which, along with the APR is enough for many spawns.
Decapsulated brine shrimp eggs non-hatching and are fed as they are without the need for the messy and often uncertain process of hatching and harvesting baby brine shrimp. The shells have been removed, leaving the embryo and full nutritious yolk sac within untouched. Baby brine shrimp begin losing nutritious value as soon as they hatch and begin consuming the yolk sac. Here that nutritious gem is intact and ready for your fry to feed on. There are the additional advantages that the decapsulating process sterilizes the eggs so they cannot carry any bacteria into your fry tank AND their are no empty shells to be ingested by your fry to kill them by blocking their digestive system. This auction includes two ounces plus of US Great Salt Lake decapsulated brine shrimp eggs in a resealable bag for easy feeding and storage.
My private label fry starter meal comes next and is so sought after by fry that a breeder who is one of my regular customers once called me up to order a pound of that "fry crack" ;) It is manufactured privately by one of the oldest and best known old-school breeders in the country and is not available in stores or anywhere else but through me or the breeder who manufactures it. This fry meal bridges the gap between the smaller fry foods and the larger feeds that follow. It is also extremely beneficial for the adults of all small to medium size species. It does indeed cause a feeding frenzy among healthy and vigorously growing fry and adults. The auction includes a full quarter pound of starter meal in a resealable bag for easy feeding and storage.
You also receive a huge four ounce Universal Nematode Culture to provide your new fry with healthy live foods to supplement the other starter foods included in this kit. This culture is similar in size to many of the very expensive ready to feed cultures offered here on AB and requires only a suitable dollar store container to get set up and ready to go in a matter of a few days. It is called a Universal Nematode Culture because it includes all three popular species of feeder nematodes in one culture. That is it contains Walter Worms, Banana Worms and of course Micro Worms, all thriving and growing together in a single culture. With this culture you will have worms of the proper size to feed all of your new fry and cut your losses due to smaller fry not being able to handle a larger worm. Very complete instructions on using and maintaining this unique culture are provided at the time of purchase so you can be ready for your culture when it arrives.
Last but certainly not least are the 7ml pipettes. They hold a total of 7ml, with 3ml marked off on the stem for dispensing meds or other measured quantities. I have sold literally thousands of these pipettes through the years and they are the single most useful thing in my fish room. They can be used for dispensing meds, for getting the fry food to where the fry are, and if you snip the top wider with a scissors, for capturing and transferring small fry without the potentially lethal trauma of a net. The auction includes fifteen 7ml pipettes.
With this kit you also receive my guidelines for feeding and rearing fry using the materials in the kit, and as stated above very complete culture instructions for the live worm culture, as well as any assistance I can provide via email should you have any questions along the way. Granted that I have a meager 45 years experience in the hobby, I always do my best to share what knowledge I have and promote the growth of our wonderful hobby.
Priority Mail Shipping with delivery confirmation is $6.25 to anywhere in the 50 States and Puerto Rico. This kit is only available in the US and Puerto Rico.
Thanks for viewing our auction!
