Siamese Fighters Advice

great fighters lee coming on lovely you also gunna try breeding them good luck with your project there are a few having trouble with photo bucket

cool

Had a really bad morning this morning thought I had lost my new female fighter but luckily marty found her in the filter so that was good, the male in the cube tank is furiously trying everything to get to the female and not concentrating on building his nest so don't know if I should remove her or not any idea's guy's?

I didn't put female in till nest was made. When he destroyed it I removed her until he rebuilt.

She isn't actually in with him she's in a breeding separator as didn't really want to stress her out by moving her from tank to tank everyday he had previously been building bubble nests probably just more interested in her than building a nest lol good luck with your's though

No I meant I moved her out of his sight completely. No way was he showing any signs of building when he could strut his stuff instead! I figured him dancing about at her was just as stressful as moving her. When I went to move her Back in with him she practically jumped into the net cos she knew where she was going.

Oh ok will give that a try then thanks loads

U could use piece of dark plastic to block his view maybe if u don't wanna move her tho

Yeah I could but he can see underneath too, will try taking her out tonight and see what happens probably give him some bloodworm too not in any rush it will happen when it happens he's obviously just too keen lol

sounds familiar!
have you started your fry food off yet? or are you buying it?

No gonna try and do some tomorrow been reading up on infusoria and I have quiet a few spare jar's to get me going so I am going to get some bananas tomorrow as you can use them and I think Mick is starting a microworm culture off for mart so will hopefully have plenty what about you?

cant decide i may buy a culture off ebay and start another of my own of a different type.
that way if i mess it up they wont have to starve lol!
i reckon i should be ok with infusoria but who knows! never made anything like this before!

Me either but it looks quiet easy we will have to compare notes, I may do like you are too and maybe buy a culture will have to wait and see need him to build his bubble nest first lol, hope you have more luck today and he doesn't destroy his bubble nest again you will have to let me know.

Yeah just noticed that my male is building a bubble nest finally the lazy man too busy showing off dead chuffed let's hope he carries on with it.

Just checked on my male again and it looks like he is definitely making a bubble nest so he's obviously a happy chappy hope things went well for deb tonight will update later

Well my male hasn't really built a very big bubble nest but it's a start really so here's hoping that he will continue building it today if not I am going to separate him to see if that helps as he was previously building them when he was on his own let's just see what today brings.

well changed tactic a bit and separated them i put the male into a bucket and he is now furiously making a bubble nest so at least that is good but just as an after thought checked the female and the little mare has jumped out of the breeding trap and has now taken over the cube lol cheeky little minx she is.

How are you getting on lately hun? Hope you back on your feet again and looking forward to getting started again

Hi Deb thanks my ankle is a lot better such a dopey mare honestly, well I swapped my male into a bucket last night and he's only gone and built himself a nice little bubble nest they are so picky these fish lol so going to have a go at introducing them tomorrow so you never know, how are your eggs getting on?

Not eggs now! Wrigglers!

Excellent little wrigglers golly that didn't take long obviously keen

Yeah I read it was 2-3days but barely been 2.
Gotta problem with food to deal with next lol
Fingers crossed for you now hun x

Thanks hun he's obviously fussy wanting to be in a bucket instead of a tank typical male lol, going to try him tomorrow with the female but we have been so busy this week no time for anything but that's the way it goes so hopefully may have an update tomorrow, but once I took him out of the tank the little minx female jumped out of the breeding trap and now has a tank to herself lol they are funny fish

Well my little male has been furiously building his little nest and it's quiet large now will have to take some photo's and put them on for people to see, never quiet got the chance to put the female in today but it will give me an extra chance to take the photo's which is a bonus I suppose so tomorrow is the big day so we will see what happens.

This is his bubble nest he's been a busy little bee
