We released all the females from their tanks last Wednesday- 08.06.11. We left them for 2 days like this so that the males would be 'motivated/instigated/encouraged' to build a larger bubble nest with physical contact with the females.
After the 2 days (erm...we did return to school to feed them) we realized that there was alot of chasing in Northern Dancer's tank. He was quite aggressive to his female, so we took her out as her tail was torn by Northern Dancer. We put 2 drops of anti-fungus liquid and put her back into her cup and into ND's tank again. I hated to do that but, the experiment has to be fair, though you would have to agree that you can't make it totally fair:( Big Red has built a very stable and big bubble nest under that water hydrilla. Good ole' Big Red!!
Northern Dancer and MuchoMachoMan have built their bubble nests at the sides of the tank and that isn't a very good place for it (bubble nest) to be as their bubbles keep popping. So every time we have our hopes up that the 2 of them have built big bubble nests, those hopes pop. "POP" "POP" "POP"
