I've got my male and female fin tank paired up now, as of today. The female is in a jar inside the male's tank, and at first, she had those scaredy stripes but they've changed to breeding stripes now. My water parameters are all good, temp is spot on, and there are plants floating on the surface, but the male still isn't building a bubble nest. They've been together for an hour and a half, and I'm not sure whether to release the female without the male's bubble nest.
I still think frozen is the way to go.

If you're heading to the store, consider picking up frozen blood worms instead.
