Breeding is fun...When you are least expect it.

My dwarf gourami started to build bubble nest just hours after arrived my home. :WHOA:

He succeeded and spawned. Look at him go. The female would come to "kiss" him on the side near the rear fin, then he would warp himself around her to help squeezing the eggs out. Then he would pick up all the eggs with his mouth and put them into the bubbles in the nest, and he would add another layers of bubbles to make sure they stay in place.

By the way, two offspring survived and lived a happy life. I wasn't equipped to raise the fry...and they were the first fish I got.
 
My Cardinal Tetras started to spawn unexpectedly in my community tank after a water change.

All eggs became instant fish food as you can see in the video. That one Black Phantom Tetra got TOO excited at eating all the eggs, and she lost her color lol... :grinno:
I wasn't equipped to host a fry tank at the time. The would be fry tank was hosting a few Neon rainbowfish as a hospital tank at the time. So it didn't matter anyway.
 
Wow! I like people with lots of enthusiasm like you! I wish you good luck with breeding but it seems you already have good luck lol :)
