    @Rooivlerkie, my new pair has spawned today, my poor male is working him mad, the eggs keeps falling out the bubble nest, so he has to pick them up the hole time, will keep you posted on this spawn:cool:

    HI @Dougie
    I would like to see some pics.
    Good luck with riasing the fry. Renember do a water change every second day a week after the has been born.

    @Rooivlerkie, Hi, will def take pics, will keep you posted, seems like the male came right with the bubble nest, the nest is more sticky, so the eggs is not falling out that much, got some advise from Altum, did it and it worked, i also got some betta spa, all natural ingredients wich i added to the water, that also made the bubbles more sticky, so everything is going well, will keep you posted:bigsmile:

    I am glad that all are well.
    Not going so good on my side. My male does not want to build a nest so I moved him to a communaty tank. Mabe i will try later. I really hope he would breed but no he decide no nest.
