Help with my new breeding attempt.

[IonBaller07]

So you guys know Ive been trying to breed. Well I need a place to ask any questions during this attempt so I made this thread. Im coming up on the time and Im moving Snowflake into the breeding tank today so he can get used to it and hopefully blow a new nest soon. Well I had some more of that white stuff in the tank so I did a 100% water change and cleared out all the plants. It is filled up to 5 1/2" and the heater is warming.

First question of this process is I realized I am now out of styrofoam cups. I also dont have any bubblewrap. Is there any other allternatives or should I go get some of that?

Also an unrealated qusestion. My snowflake/marina tank has been taken over by this bron stuff on the decor. At first it was on the corner of one of the statues so I though it was poo, but recently it has spread to all the white decor. Is this red algae or some kond of fungus.

A floating plant or plastic food container lid will work.The brown stuff sounds like aggae to me but you might want to take a pic of it and post it in the freshwater aquarium part of the forum.

I dont know what it was but I took out the decor and scraped off most of the brown stuff with a wire brush thing.

And I will try a small tupperware lid or something.

The tank switch went well, I put snowflake in the spawn tank so he can get ready, and kingdra took over snowflakes tank for the time being. Both are taking it well.

Yes a plant leaf would be great for him.....And the brown stuff also sounds like algae to me...But a pic would help! :]
Good luck!!!

Thats good! :]
Has he started with the bubble nest??? When will you be putting Marnia in???

[IonBaller07]

He hasnt started it but there is still a half-dollar size chunk of bubble nest left from Kingdra, I hope that will help him start.

If they look ready they might go in late tommorow, Im going to DC United soccer game so I might do it before or after that. If they dont look ready then I will continue to condition them for a week or so.

I hope he starts.....If he doesnt I wouldnt put her in there....

[IonBaller07]

Ohh I wont, Im making sure I do everything just right this time. I just made him the little tupperware lid "bubblenest keeper", I made it too lids ling so maybe he will build me a big one.
