New Spawn!

[Mugen]

My first spawn has just recently hatched!! Mugen is running around like a chicken with his head chopped off XD Even though this is just the first hurdle.. I am truly psyched that they've made it this far. Here's a pic of him chasing fry around:

I keep reading about polystrene cups and bubble nests is that what you have used? Really silly query but which way have you cut it?

yeah.. this is styrofoam I think. It's a little bowl which I cut long ways towards the bottom and got a good domed chunk out of.

yay Mugen! What a great Daddy.... I'm so excited to see how they all turn out. Will you be getting DT's?


Liz, you cut the styrafoam cup long-ways and cut off the bottom. Bettas like a variety of surfaces for bubblenests, but styrafoam cups are very popular. My boy had a styro cup, bubble wrap, Java Fern leaves and a large Indian Almond leaf to choose from in his spawn tank... he chose the IAL and the nest was huge and very stable.
