	Should I give it one last try?
Inkling Fish Addict Posts: 689 Kudos: 498 Votes: 11 Registered: 07-Dec-2005	Okay. I waited and waited and waited some more. My male betta, Smokey, is nesting as is the female (for some reason) who is also "full with eggs" I think they are bolth ready. I'm going to move Klaus (betta currrently occupying breeding tank) into the spare tank and move Smokey in after a large water change. Is there anything I should do first? Am I forgetting anything this time? I want everything to go as smoothly as possible. Inky

I have a 1g "jar" that is in the other corner of the tank, where I usually put the female. (I can always move this around or get rid of it) I am not trying to force anything as I waited much longer than everyone told me too (my advice was to wait one month befor trying again) and I have cared for them all semester. ^_^ I'm hoping it works and I don't want to force them. What are the 'common' things? Inky
