107. Bubble-Nesting Bettas

In the Betta genus, there are two documented modes of incubation: bubble-nesting and mouthbrooding. Among the bubble-nesters, domestic strains of Betta splendens are easily the most ubiquitous. In this episode, the Water Colors team survey all of the bubble-nesters. You can share your stories (and photos) of bubble-nesting Betta on the Water Colors Aquarium Gallery Podcast Listeners Facebook group!
