Dwarf Guorami Buliding Bubble Nest :o

[Genesis]

my male colisa lalia has been buiding a bubblenest in my community tank, i have no spare tanks but would love to raise some fry, what can i do?

(i have 2 females btw)

The chances of you successfully breeding/ rearing are very low in a community tank. Many ways for the nest to get destroyed, fry to get eaten, fry to starve, etc. Another tank would really be needed...

great news , they spawned , there are already some eggs in the nest and the male is hard at work defending it



im thinking of migrating the nest to a separate 3gallon to raise fry, this contains a basic sponge filter

could i use a plastic tub and scoop up the nest and place it in another tank?
