I've placed a female in a floating tank, and the male was building bubble nest. Then I released the female. The male was chasing after the female, and I knew that was okay and walked away. When I came back again in 30min, the nest was gone!
What was going on?
Shall I use something to cover up the bubble nest?
I read the above sites, and looks like I need a stirofoam cup. Shall I leave the cup there to protect the nest? When shall I remove the cup?

thanks!

You don't remove the cup. You leave it over the nest. Make sure you don't have anything running in the tank that would cause a current. Also, did you condition your pair?

How to precondition them?

thanks.

You keep their water very clean and feed them good foods (fruit flies, bloodworms, brine shrimp, ect) for a week or two.

Thanks!
They finally did it this morning!
I wasn't sure how many eggs she laid.
I couldn't really see the eggs inside the bubbles either.
Hope things would go well

I've heard that it's really hard to feed the frys. Any tips on this?

thanks!

Tomorrow feed Microworms and Vinegar eels, and a week later BBS to the mix.
