hi everyone,
i need help ASAP (sorry lol)
my situation, i got a community tank filled with:
1) 1 male lavender veiltail
2) 4 female cambodias (2 ready to spawn)
3) 1 female wildtype (ready to spawn)
4) 1 feather fin catfish
5) 2 chinese algae-eater ( <-- i know i make a wrong pick on this one)
6) A few RCS shrimps (my bettas seemed to ignore them and let them play on their body)
and so, today, the 1 female cambodia decided to mate and spawn eggs with the male.
the problem is, the male haven't make a nest yet, and when the spawning process happen, the male have to occasionally
make the nest after picking the dropped eggs and continue the embracing posture. and sometimes, the other females decided to
ruin the party and the couple ends up chasing the other females away.
So i took the couple lovefish out and put into another tank, put the same tank water in it (height about more than one inch deep), put some plants to help them stick the eggs and making bubble nest easier. collect the remaining eggs from the previous tank and put them in.
they continue doing it for 3 hours, but unfortunately, every time the male try to make bubbles, the bubble pops, is it because i used new clean water?(just did 30% WC yesterday)
can the eggs hatch even without bubble nest? i heard about artificial hatching but in my case, the daddy betta is there and will he try to make the nest? how to help him do that since everytime he does that, the bubbles pop?
the female seemed to be helping the male so i leave it. then i went out for an hour, went i return, the female hid herself from the male so i removed her into a quarantine tank. but her stomach is still bloated with eggs(everytime i took her out from the water, eggs keep spraying on my hand), so i put her back in the spawning tank but got chased by the male, so i removed her again, is it ok? she seemed too tired and got lots of injury. is my decision right or i should put back in the spawning tank?
one more thing, how do i feed the male? should i feed him normally and removed uneaten pellets? do i need to do WC daily for the eggs? if so how much %?
im not planning to use filter in the spawning tank but do i need to use water pump..to regulate the water flow a bit for the eggs to breath?
thanx

QUOTE(edmund90 @ Feb 8 2012, 02:36 AM) jus remove the female and left the male with the egg... no need feed the male. wait 24 hours to see the egg got hatch or not if no then jus forget it.. plz do not keep betta in a comm tank.. ><!!
btw, im still really confused about keeping the bettas in community tank. why cant i keep them in there?
when i got them when they were small, i put them in 3g fish tank, but they kinda not moving and look bored all the time. so i decided to put all of them
in the community tank. in there, they like it , they like to play with the slow water flow from the filter, and sumtimes move in a group and also sleep together..no nipping at each other and no fight happened.
plz advice. also i got no other nipping fish species in the tank too.
thanx |

QUOTE(edmund90 @ Feb 15 2012, 02:44 PM) since u transfer them to fresh water already,then u still need worry wat? i usually use aged water without adding any ketapang or any other med to the spawn tank.
well, just after i transfered them , they spawn the eggs, removed the female, but the next day, all fungus already infested on those tiny eggs...thats y im a bit confused and shocked at the same time...sigh |

eggs got engulf by an entity like dandelion seeds..
waited for 3 days to ensure any surviving fries hatched, but none made it so have to throw them away
since dont want to risk any infection on the male
already quarantine both of the male and female for a week now.
now female already moved back to her community tank and male already put back in his 3g bowl.
