Betta Eggs Keep Falling

The eggs keep falling down to the bottom and the male is constantly picking up the falling eggs.

Betta eggs keep falling. I ve seen eggs hatch without a single bubble present in the tank. As long as the male looks as if hes going to the bubble nest then the eggs are safe. A bit at a time.

Betta eggs don t need anything really. You shouldn t do anything. Since betta fish are bubble breeders meaning they keep their eggs within the bubble nest the construction of one is a cornerstone of courtship.

Either a tank separator can be used to keep them separate or a hurricane globe can be inserted into the tank with the female inside it. Since the male siamese fighting fish is the one who initiates the process he is the one who builds the nest attracts the female entices her to lay fertilized eggs and then guards those eggs until. In the wild betta fish habitats are often quite dirty shallow puddles without much oxygen.

Actually now almost all the eggs are in the bottom of the tank already only a few are left in the very small bubble patch. The male betta always cares for the eggs always putting droped eggs back in the bubble nest. But slowly the bubble nest is shrinking in size and the eggs are falling to the ground.

Your male will maintain his own nest. Is your male betta fish still in the tank with the eggs. If they have been out of the nest for a while he will eat them before they begin to fungus over.

Aside from releasing the eggs the female betta fish do not play any role in raising or protecting the young. He will pick up eggs that fall. Eggs are highly susceptible to fungus as is your male after mating because his slime coat may have thinned out.
