Matto Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 when should i put her back in? it has been a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 are her vertical bars showing? is she showing any sort of interest in him? also is his bubble nest up to standard. Make sure you put a few places for her to hid in the breeding tank as well. She will colour up and get the bars and get rather fat looking when shes ready to breed. Put her in he may chase her a little and swim back to his nest then chase her then swim back to the nest and then she should follow him back to the nest and they will mate. This will go on for quite some time, when shes finished she will usually go and hide and he will defend his nest. Remove her and let him do his thing. Ive also found with some of my fighters they didnt like people actually viewing them up close (funny wee guys) they would get distracted and not do their thing properly so if your going to watch make sure you dont get too close as they could be shy. Where Ive had others not give a hoot whether I had the camera up in their faces or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Same thing happens with humans too. just because you have a male and a female doesn't mean they will breed. they are not always compatible, sometimes they are just not interested in each other.
