My Battered Boy Neptune Made His First Bubble Nest!

[Jenste]

So...after living in a teeny bowl with his previous owner, jumping over the divided section that I gave him in my guppy tank, getting attacked by guppies and rehomed in what use to be my fry tank - (all in 2 days mind you) - he surprised his new mama this morning with a bubble nest!!! I had put some fake floating duckweed on top because he liked playing in it in the guppy tank...I havent put any live plants in there yet because I am not sure they will get enough light and I don't want them to rot in the tank. Will White Ribbon or Argentine Sword survive in low light conditions? (Like that of a lamp shining through the top of the tank?)

I had gone to perform a water change to help his fins heal...and I was shocked!!! I very carefully did the change with out overly disturbing his work....and boy he was proud of it - he kept swimming between me and his nest haha

Congratulations, Neptune!!!! ^^; I remember when Mr. Wimpy Fish built a bubble nest a couple of days ago -- well, it all popped; and, so far, he hasn't rebuilt it agains. ^^; 8D

Besides having healing qualities fresh water will induce many species to spawn. Spawning fish are generally happy with their environment, you're doing good!
