With Siamese fighter fish, it is the male's job to look after the nest and the fry when they hatched.

In the video you can see the very tiny fry and the male looking after them.

Two days ago, I wrote about Clifford's Cave, if one follow the railway line for a short distance further one gets to the old Kaaimans River Bridge. This bridge used to have a nice walkway, but these days the railings are broken, and I won't feel safe to cross this river by walking on the walkway.

It is quite beautiful here.

The see and the river meets here, on the video you can see a boat entering the river from the sea side, looks quite dangerous to me.

I hope you enjoyed the post and that you have a wonderful day.

I love it to go for early morning walks on the beach. As you can see it is very quiet on the beach, with nobody present on the photos, but as you can see there are quite a few foot prints in the sand, thus, it seems that I was rather late than early, but I was on holiday and taking it slow.

I also found this snail on the edge of the beach, he seemed quite out out of place in this environment, perhaps he was also enjoying the fresh sea breeze!!

What a nice day to start your day, with the fresh sea breeze to breath and the ocean and never ending waves right next to you.

I hope you enjoyed the post and that you have a wonderful day.

In this video, you can see the Siamese Fighter Fish looking after the newly hatched fry. You will note this is a different male than in my previous posts. I had two pairs males and females that spawned. This one had more fry that hatched, but surprisingly, the other one had more that are still alive.

The fry is very small as you can see, I am feeding them the yolk of a hard boil egg, that is smashed fine and dissolved in water as well as micro worms. (Walter worms in my case)

I hope you enjoyed the post and that you have a wonderful day.

Yesterday I wrote a post named: Siamese Fighter Bubble Nest, today I am writing about the Siamese Fighter Fish Spawning.

This is quite a process, that starts with quite a bit of aggression, before the spawning takes place.

When the fish spawn, they embrace each other, the female then releases the eggs and the male fertilise them. The eggs then drop towards the ground, the male then catches the eggs, and deposits them in the nest, where he will care for the eggs as well as the fry when they hatch.

In the photo, you can see the male tending to the eggs in the nest.

I hope you enjoyed the post and that you have a wonderful day.

Siamese Fighter Fish, also known as Betta's are very interesting fish. The male Siamese Fighter Builds a nest consisting of hundreds of small bubbles. The video shows the male, busy with his nest.

When he is finished, the female will inspect the nest, and only then will she spawn. The male then catches the eggs, and deposit them in the nest, where he then cares for the eggs and the fry once they hatch.

Below you can see the nest from close up.

I hope you enjoyed the post and that you have a wonderful day.
