i wasnt planning on breeding bettas this early but one of my females that i was going to breed has gotten really ful and i dont ant it to die of eggboundedness. so i am hoping i will get a microwrm culture on wednesday am i will breed on saterday. the fry will hatch in atleast 1 day and they will live off yolk fro about 1 day they i will feed them infusoria for about 1-2 days . what i am wondering is will there be enough worms to feed my fry after 1 week?

Yes, a culture will grow big enough in about 4 days. Don't worry about infusoria (it just messes up the water trust me), just wait till they are completely free swimming then feed them both microworms and baby brine shrimp. Both are easy to make, and its better to have 2 sources of food than just one.

Yes, newborn fry can eat baby brine shrimp just fine!
