time to clean the nest

observing the giant red pair with huge nest this morning and saw him going berserk destroying the nest and building yet another big one. it's quite interesting to see that these bettas know when it's time to "clean the house".

the old nest is so thick and "dirty" that he has decided to destroy it and move slightly to the right side of the tank and build another one. i rarely seen this is being done. usually, i only saw the male has somewhat "moved" to a new location with new nest, and sometimes i can see some bubbles on the place of the old nest, as if it was just being abandoned. well, this male is different....he actually go the hard way of destroying the nest. He jumped up high on the nest trying to grab as much eggs as he can (remember he still tends the eggs in the nest), destroy some nests, go to new place, and build a new nest

the female is always trustworthy to whatever the male is doing. She just swim in one corner watching the male and then stare at me as if wondering if i'm going to be a threat to her fry :)
