My Betta breeding tank

In the process to relocate the neon tetras from the breeding tank. had put 15 tetras in there. had successfully removed 8 to my earth pot so far. 7 more to go.

Have been putting the female in continually to stimulate the male. The male has been making better bubblenest now. The last 2 was a failure.

Pondering why he was not as "horny" (not making big "attractive" bubblebest), .... the food? the location of the tank? the exposure to sunlight? the human disturbance?

Have been conditioning the pair for the past days. The female looks ready, but obviously not impressed by the male. Both have been fed well. giving them dry blood worms (live ones would be best), plenty of it, to give them the strength and protein to "show down".

The female is in again this morning. purpose: drive the male nuts and make him makes bette bubblenest. also getting the female familiar with the tank, and the hiding places.

once the tetras are all go, we will be set to go. Now is to see how best a bubblenest can the male produce. I am counting on you now, boy.
