Welcome to the bubblenest...I am going to attempt a "blow by blow" pictorial log with my pair of Cardinal HMs. These fish are 4 months old and this is their first spawn..Could be successful, could be a dismal failure...The male is a little "dense" and probably the worst bubble blower in history...Guess we willhave to wait and see what happens...Worst comes to worst, i have back up pairs...And on with the show...
Hmm, this looks like a nice place to build a nest...
I actually thought that he had clued in...Turned out that he is more interested in trying to eat the styrofoam then blow bubbles under it...Did I mention he is dense?
And then he noticed the heater...
I mighty battle ensues...I think they decided to call it a "draw"
WHOA! There is a girl here...
Ok he has noticed the female...Looks like it is over between him and the heater...They were no good for each other anyway. Notice that the female instantly starts to posture with her nose down...A good sign, albeit earlier then normal...Maybe their is hope for them...
I see you baby, shaking that tail...
His entire demeaner has changed, he is now strutting for all he is worth, trying to impress her...
Stay tuned for updates as they happen...
