Migrating Bubble Nest?!

[DanMan092]

The bubble nest, which was in the corner, has now moved toward my UV filter, completely intact...did the Gourami do this, or was the nest dislodged? Because I would like to move it back so it is not in the way of water changes

Unless you're actualy trying to spawn the fish (which won't be successful in a community setting anyway), don't worry about destroying the nest. He'll re-build it if he wants to and destroying it also reduces territoriality so may actualy be a good idea if he is becoming particularly aggressive. It's difficult for a bubblenest to become dislodged and float away without breaking up so I'd think your gourami abandoned his first nest a simply re-built one in the new position. That's not to say that the former isn't possible though.

It was defientely the same bubble nest. When I came home today it was almost gone, and getting smaller. I don't care if they breed or not. Its better that it was destroyed naturally rather than during a water change
