My Bettas are Embracing!

I was ready to scrap this pair because they've been in the tank for 4 days with no results.. I got in the shower, and planned to remove them from the tank and clean it out once I was dressed.

I come back into my room from the bathroom and see my female with her head to the bottom of the tank, fins clamped, totally submissive. So I'm thinking 'What the..?'
I sat down to watch, and within 30 seconds they were embracing!
I immediately called my friend Sarah [who is also on the forum ] over, and we've been watching them ever since.

The female's eaten a few eggs, and the male's pretty beat up, but they've embraced about 20 times so far.. every other time a couple of eggs come out of the female, so I'm thinking they're either close to being done, or just getting started.. I was gone for half an hour and all the embracing I've seen has been in the last 20 minutes, so I'm not too sure.

But yayy! They're finally embracing!

They heard you overtalking about them not being good enough to breed so they hurried it up just for you! J/K

I am glad they finally are embracing. Must be amazing to watch.

Navarre called me a perv for watching them.

It is amazing.. I tried to get pictures, but my camera just sucks.

I forgot to mention.. I was using a bunch of hornwort as my floating plant, and now there's a massive amount of bristles all over the bottom of the tank, specifically under the nest. Anyone got any ideas how to get the bristles out without inducing Daddy to do some egg-munching?
