Bubble Nest

My male Gourami has started making a bubble nest but by morning it merges into one big bubble. Should i be prepared for a nest of it is just normal for him to keep producing them. I have a community tank so am a little concerned that the eggs/fry would get eaten so need to know my next step to protect them.

Hi there,

Yes bubble nesting species will continually make practice nests to demonstrate fitness etc.

But, they can get quite territorial if they do breed and deposit eggs in the nest....
