Hi,
Ok... so a week after I got my current male halfmoon, Cole he started building a bubble nest.
Checked with the place where I got my female, Myra and apparently putting him in a place where he can see my female causes them to well... you get the idea.
For the most part Cole showed interest but Myra mostly ignored him.
Well, one water change later... he built a new bubble nest and now Myra is interested.
From what I read online I did the things common with conditoning, I set them up in a way they could see each other and fed them frozen blood worms.
After a while Cole started flaring and showing off his fins.
Myra's come up to him a few times showing him the vertical stripes on her sides.
Long story short, I finally let the two of them swim together.
Myra waited under the bubble nest and it took a while before Cole noticed her. When he did he just circled.
For the most he just chased Myra and shoved her or if he got too close he would go the opposite direction.
Myra flared but mostly looked at him like... "I'm over here."
I think Cole was either afraid of her or didn't know how to react.
Anyway, I separated them and decided to give them a break for a day or two.
Though after I took Myra out, Cole started adding more bubbles to the nest.
My biggest concern was them snapping at each other so I'm glad they didn't.
Should I try putting Myra in a jar and leave her next to Cole for a while or what?
I've never done this before but did research on breeding bettas and found video footage on YouTube.
The store where got Myra had told me if I didn't breed her than her carrying all those eggs would become a problem.
I don't want anything to happen to her.
Would appreciate some tips for a scenario like this.
