ok, I decided to change the breed pair and put the female in with my red male. I put them next to each other for just over 24hrs in which time they both began to make bubble nests. I put the female in with him last night before I went to bed and when I went to feed them this morning I found the male laying sullenly on the tank floor with all his fins tattered and whiteish spots on his head. He looks asthough he's been in a fight with another male. I have no idea what happened. I took the male out immediatly and put him in his own little tank with some betta fix. He isn't interested in eating either. I think they may have spawned as the female seems to be guarding the bubble nest. I don't know how to tell if there are eggs in it or not. I was thinking that maybe the female was actually a juvenile male as she started out a creamy colour with red fins that have a fleck of neon green through them but now she has red continuing through her body and almost half of her is red now. I suppose i'll leave her in the spawning tank for a day or two and see if any eggs hatch if not I'm going to buy another female and try again with the red male when he is on the mend. If anyone has any advice or any idea what might have happened or want to ask more questions please don't hesitate to.
