Don't they put they're eggs on a bubble nest on top of the surface?? My friend breeds some fancy one's and he told me that as soon as the female lays eggs, the male catches them and put them in the bubble nest that he made or else they will drown..

Simplex are mouthbrooders unlike Splendens that do use bubblenests, I used to breed those :wink:
