No problem :) Any questions you have I'll be happy to answer :)

I'd just keep the tank clean and when you put the pair in don't worry about it. I watch my pair (with the girl in a jar or cup of some sort) and if they seem ok I release her. Bubblenest or not.

When I'm ready to breed again, should I keep the breeding tank spotless until I see the female's egg spot, allow the pair to mate then ignore the dirty tank until after the eggs hatch??

If your not breeding don't worry about the bubblenest. He'll make a new one in a day or two.

I've bred bettas who were about 2 years old, though no eggs were produced.

In my spawning tank I have a cave and TONS of live plants surrounding the cave.

Would like to breed, but the female didn't allow the male to embrace her last weekend. He did do a number on her tail fins thoughwhile he was trying to get her out of her hiding place. Since then, I've gotten pretty attached to her. I was thinking of allowing her tail to heal up as much as possible & if I see any eggs in her sac,put her back w/ the male w/ a better shelter. I estimated that my male is ~7mo & my female ~5.5mo. so I have a little time, but I'm cutting it close before my male gets too old.What do you think?

Just curious are yout trying to breed your betta? It just seems like it on the post below.

All I have in the tank is the styrofoam cup w/ a very large bubble nest & a rock for the male to rest on.What do you use to clean the tank w/o disturbing the bubble nest?
