i was wondering, how long can a bubble nest stay Un-popped??

and is it possible to move it ??

I am not sure how long the bubble nest stays around. I am presuming long enough for all the eggs... I have seen mine keep one for a while, although I cannot remember the exact amount of time.

You could probably very gently move the nest in the tank, just across the water and that's it.

Hmmmm, that is a good quesiton . My betta always has a nest, but I clean his bowl at least once a week so it always gets washed down the drain. I think they could possibly last a really long time.

I have wondered what makes those bubbles keep. Occasionally, I see some clear material floating and I have wondered if that what it was from.

likewise, i have always wondered
"is there anything special about the bubbles"

can we just blow our own bubbles ?? ahahhhaahah

no, when they make bubble nests, they excreet the bubbles through thier gills, which gives it a mucus coating, which means that it goes un - popped for a good long time!

Eactly Tink. On average my boys nests will last a week if not disturbed by water changes.

Donkey's nest usually last a good while too. I feel soooo guilty when I pour it down the drain! He works so hard on it! But a day or so later he gets busy building another one.

yes, they are quite good at keeping them going! i feel so bad about popping Dudes, but he makes them again withing a few hours.
