Plakat Betta bubble nest

nobody@flickr.com (Obsidianspics) — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:38:29 -0700

This Betta (Plakat) is 4 years old and I won't ever breed him but he makes gigantic bubble nests. Sometimes I have a male that's good at everything except making a good bubble nest. So I harvest the Plakats bubbles and put them in the other male Bettas tank. It's actually funny to watch. I use a very clean spoon to scoop off the bubbles and lay them in other males tank. At first he looks at them befuddled but w/in a few minutes he claims them as his own and breeding commences.

Took about 3 months to get it to look this good. Never turn the lights out.

Unidentified fungus but the adf's respond well and quickly to Fungus Eliminator and T.C. -Pro.
I still don't know the cause.

At Petco. His stomach is completely clear - no food. Bloated with either air or fluid. Didn't act sick. No evidence of any fungus or dropsy. Acted completely normal and active except of course he isn't.

Eats both brown and green algae. Needs brackish water to reproduce so won't breed in a freshwater tank. Or, to be more exact they can breed but the eggs won't hatch in freshwater tank.

These are actually Amano shrimp eggs. But it's a much better picture than I could take and they look exactly the same as ghost shrimp except color of eggs.
Once the eyes are seen the ghost is very close to releasing them.
