hello. my fighting fish or beta laid eggs already in the bubble nest. but slowly the bubble nest is shrinking in size and the eggs are falling to the ground. actually now, almost all the eggs are in the bottom of the tank already only a few are left in the very small bubble patch. what will happen to the eggs? will they still hatch?

also, the male beta keeps on bringing them up to the surface however the eggs just sink down since the male beta's bubbles just pop and dont last anymore. what should i do?
 
I know nothing about betas, but do they have any plants in the tank that they could sit in?
Or could you use a media net and manage to cradle them up in the air?
I only raise Orandas and my little girl is sticking hers to the side of the glass. Are beta eggs sticky?

based on research, beta eggs arent sticky. its the job of the dad to fix them up in the bubble nest. ive been trying to look for devices used for breeding but the local stores only have the seclusion tank. i have plants in the tank to support the bubble nest. the problem is that the dad cant create good bubbles anymore
 
I use to breed bettas my the 1000s. Keep the air humid with a cover==the bubble will last longer. The ones that fall to bottom (and stay there) will die.
Hatching the eggs is not the problem---feeding the babies (which are REALLLLLY small) is the problem.

I never tried. The male needs to take care of the baibies till they can swim. The babies (IMO) need to be near the surface to breath air after they hatch.
 
everything is ok. the eggs hatched already and the male seems to have gotten back its skill of making bubbles.
