My Poor Bettas Nests

[abbowilk]

i have a male betta and 2 females. everytime the male builds a bubble nest it gets destroyed by the other fish. has anyone got any ideas on how to stop this

Well if your two females are in the tank with him, removeing them would most certainly help. If their not in the tank with him, what fish are destroying his nest?

well i have some dalmation mollies and it is usually them who destroy the nests i think my betta is starting to give up

Does he have something to build under? Mine like to build under their IAL leaf. Try attaching a section of styrofoam cup for him to build under. All mine will chose to build under something if they can.

Breeding needs to be done in a seperate tank, and you shouldnt be keeping males and females together (apart from the actual spawning). Again Im sorry but you really don't seem prepared, read the FAQ topics and everything you can find on breeding
