Siamese Fighter Bubble Nest

(Edited)


In my previous video, I introduced the male and female Siamese Fighters to each other.

In this video the male is building a Bubble Nest. He builds this with saliva. The male is the one that will care for the eggs, once they are spawned. He will catch the fertilized eggs in his mouth and deposit them in the bubble nest, where he will care for them until the baby fish are born. If an egg falls from the nest he will pick it up and put it back in the nest, He will protect the eggs and the baby fish (fry) from predators. Siamese Fighter fish males are real good dads!! He will even chase the female away!! For this reason it is best to remove the female from the tank, once spawning is finished.

Hope you like the video, which I took at my home using my Samsung Phone.

I love the Betas!! Did you match up a pair and did they get babies? If you did get babies, what did you feed them??
Thank you so much for the reply.

So far i've never tried matching up a pair. I actually have three males in separate tanks right now. A couple blue ones and a red one. The red one is so aggressive that he has to live by himself, he even fought with a snail I tried putting in his tank to eat algae. The blue ones live with guppies and shrimp.

I only have the one male and one female, which live in separate tanks, although they share with other fish, mostly guppies and also a few cherry shrimps. I did get baby Siamese Fighters, I will still post on them as well, but I am not sure if they will survive, they are very tiny and I am not sure if they are getting enough food. (They are now 2 weeks old)

Yeah our guppies had quite a few fry but only two have survived.

You have taken some important decision about them not to let them together.

I actually did bring them together, I just kept them separate for a while.
I actually did get baby Siamese Fighters in the end.
