so irritated

[Ilovemyshiny]

i put voodoo in the breeding tank and put omega red next to him for encouragement, he built a HUGE bubble nest in one day, so i moved her back to her rightful spot to let him finish up, then an hour later... every freakin bubble was gone!!! now jack wont make a nest either.

[MrVampire181]

Should've released her.

[Ilovemyshiny]

really? god now im kicking myself...okay tomorrow we try agin...this time i release her :D

[MrVampire181]

Yop unless she's showin her stress marks you should release her.

[Ilovemyshiny]

shes doing her best to get to him and kinda building a nest of her own, shes fantastic and fat with eggs, even in her white body i can see her little white bulge

[MrVampire181]

Well just wait and see what happens.

[Ilovemyshiny]

what kind of substrate and plants and such do you use in your breeding tank? currently i have half bare half well planted w/tons of hiding spots, the part that is bare is the corner where he tends to build his nest so he wont lose any eggs

[AngelicScars]

I think no substrate is the best way to go (from what I read). It's easier to clean and safer for the fry until they are big enough to move.

[dramaqueen]

Having no substrate also makes it easier for the male to pick up fallen eggs.

yea last night after i posted that i removed it all. i floated her in there all day and this time no bubble nest, hes just flaring, none of my boys are making nest now. im so frustrated.
