Betta Eggs

[havoKKKK]

So my betta's actually spawned Saturday at around 6pm. My male has been watching them ever since not letting anything get close to them..not even me. It usually takes within 48 hours for them to hatch? So if their are no babies when I get back from the zoo tonight, they're gone right?

don't be too quick -- we thought ours were gone -- but got out a magnifying glass and sure enough there were some swimmers!!!

Alright well..I came home and I didn't see any eggs but the male is still watching the nest and he was grabbing at the top of the water and blowing into the nest or putting something back into the nest. I am entirely unsure. I still haven't seen any babies but they might just be to small for me to see?
