My male betta is not making a nest, well barely and he hasn't added on to it for a long time now. He just sits in the tank like nothing is in there except for him. BUT the female is in there too but she barely moves. I think she might have swim bladder disease because she sits a the top and slighly goes to her sideand if the male comes(barely) she sits there like he is a ghost! And then the male opens his mouth as big as he can, aimsperfectly and bites her in the face and she barely doe a thing except move a bit, sometimes she swims into this styro foam cup I made for her to hide in but other times she tries to get stuck in something at the bottom.When I first put her in she got stuck in the plant and I had to save her or the male would have killed her there.The male now does nothing in the tank. He doesn't make a buble nest or fix his old one. Are they not ready or do I have to codition them some more?
Also my female is two times smaller than my male but she shows the stripes on her belly. help me
