MRSkz Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Howdy ya'll. now this is my first breeding atempt and everything's been going pretty well. my male has built a lovely bubble nest under a bit of polystyrine, I have kept the fem on one side of a clear divider and the male on the other. I introduced them slowly, for a few hours only the first time, a few more the second, now I've left them for 18hours ish. funny thing is they are both now under the polystyrine, the bubble nest has been compleatly desimated but they are still trying to embrace. this brings me to my question, should I now seperate them while the male rebuilds his bubble nest as they have been hanging out under what WAS the nest for atleast an hour or more. they aren't hurting eachother, they are just busy trying to spawn but not realizing they don't have anything to put the eggs in IF they are sucsessfull. any advice would be greatly appriciated, Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistymu05 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 i would only seperate them if they start getting violent....dont worry that theres no bubble nest.....as soon as they have finished spawning take the girl out and lower the water quite alot so that the dad doesnt have as far to go wen trying to keep the eggs at the top of the tank.....it also means that once the eggs hatch the babies also dont have as far to go from the bottom of the tank to the top of the water..... hope that helps you.....and good luck with the spawn....
