well, all the fry are free swimming, and I decided to leave dad in there for a bit longer, he dient try to keep them in the nest, but would run all around the tank checking on them, if they were on the bottom, he would pick them up and plop them back at the nest, they are all in the floating plants, and he is right smack in the middle of them all, I'm going to add more water today..The more I see what he is cappable of, the more I love him :wub: I just hope his fry are the same way!
It's really awe-inspiring seeing good betta daddies at work :)
