One of my Dwarf Gouramis has been hard at work. Too bad he doesn't have any females to participate with him.

Pardon the green water, and the somewhat crappy pics:

From the top (he spits floating bits of plants into the middle of the nest, it was about an inch or so tall)...

The pics were taken during a water change...so the nest is gone now.

ENJOY!
 
Great pics joe! It's always exciting when fish do stuff like that. Too bad the poor guy is alone. :p
 
What exactly causes that green water? plants? ect?

Never had either... :confused:
 
Fertilizers, nutrients, bright light. Any one or combination of those. No one can really say exactly what the cause is...and since I don't know a dang thing about plants...I'll just throw some equipment at it (the UV sterilizer) and fix it in 24 hours. I'm getting tired of the good-for-mother-earth treat-it-with-TLC version of fishkeeping. :D
