Should I remove her? or leave it? The male betta is guarding the nest, flaring at the female when she is visible. But once in a while the male goes away from the nest and flare at the female, then side facing the female and show off his fins and colour I'm wondering should i remove the female? or there will be more spawning of eggs? loriloli 2011-03-16 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=spawning#2 When they are mostly done spawning remove female,there will be some eggs that dont make it tomthe nest but the male will pick them up in his mouth and place in nest.As soon as they start to hatch remove him as well he will eat fry when they start wiggling.INSTINCT. jodijaye 2012-08-10
