Introducing baby bettas!
Our male (Thales) has been creating bubble nests for months. We had a female in our community tank for about two months now. We randomly decided to put them together a few days ago - Saturday.
Sunday, I caught spawning actions happening but did not see any egg laying.
By sunday night, Kayla spotted eggs!
This morning, I saw our first baby fall from the nest and dad picked it up and put it back.
Right now, we check and we see approximately 20 fry free swimming! Some are still absorbing their yolk sacs. In another day or two, we will be able to collect the fry and raise them away from their father.
