The male builds a nest of bubbles, usually in a corner of the tank. Once the female is happy with the nest and is prepared to mate, he will encourage her to go with him under the nest. There he wraps himself around the female in an embrace, and ova are released and fertilised during this embrace. The couple then separate and the male follows the fertilised ova and picks them up in his mouth and blows them up into the nest of bubbles. This process continues until the female has been spawned out. He will then chase her away and she must now be removed otherwise he will kill her. He then tends the nest full of ova and wrigglers until the fry become free swimming when he or they must be removed from the tank otherwise he will eat the free swimming fry.

Is there any negative effects placing gold fish with tropical fish?
Most fish get along well. However, do NOT mix betta fish with other fish. Not even another betta. You have to have a permit to have to betta fish in the same tank with eachother. Betta fish are only mixed to mate. Bettas are not born in the egg. They come out as a very small fish. After the betta babies have come out, all of the fish are seperated. Even the parents, if the betta babies are left in the tank with the others the betta parents are very likely to eat the others.
