Awesome pic neon. I currently just had one of the 2 pregnany guppies give birth. There's only 4 lil buggers swimming around my tank as of now, but i'm sure there will be more in the morning.

[blue_neon]

So what did you do in the spawning procedure? Did you leave the father with the fry?
Well you see, my female betta in my community tank looks like she could be carrying eggs. And Mum's male betta is currently in 1/2 gallon tank (I know its awfully small but he seems to like it and will be getting a bigger one soon). Can I get them to spawn in a large glass bowl filled with only water? If not, is there any other way using my limited resources?

blucat....all female bettas do carry eggs.. in fact the one that i bred was skinny and there are a lot of babies so that is one thing u dont have to worry about... 5-10 gal tank 1/3 way filled with water and no gravel or decor is the best... i found a few sites that are great at helping with this http://www.bcbetta.com/spawning.html http://www.aquariumhobbyist.com/articles/BreedingBettas.html if u still have any questions feel free to ask.. im happy to help

I just had to give you some kudos blue neon. Congrats on your success and thanks for posting the pics.

Please clarify something for me? It looks like the bubblenest was anchored to the clay pot. How did you position the pot in the tank?
