Question about Betta fish eggs?

Question

I put a female betta in with a male since I needed to buy a more suitable container for one of them later on this week. The bowl isn't all that small, but it's definitely not large either. I'd say it's a little less than half a gallon.

I found out this morning that the male had made a bubble nest and there were eggs in it.

What should I do? I have a five gallon tank I could transfer the nest to, but I think that would be rather risky. I'd worry about the temperature of the new water and breaking the nest apart. Should I wait until the eggs hatch and the fry begin to swim before transferring them to the five gallon tank?

Answer 1

It's best to leave the babies where they are and move the adults.

Don't disturb the nest.  If you're gonna do anything, wait till all the babies are free swimming.

Answer 2

You need to leave them in there with the male,he`ll take care of them,when they hatch and are free swimming then just remove the male.

Answer 3

you cannot move a bubble nest. its too fragile. just remove the female and let the male guard the eggs.

when the fry hatch, remove the male. its better and easier to move 1 big fish than 100s of small fish!!
