Concerning the breeding of my bettas

Question
I have two bettas in my 2.5 gallon tank, a red male (Elmo) and a blue female (Ferrari). They follow each other around constantly and sometimes puff up at one another, but I keep a pretty close eye on them to make sure they don't get hurt. Elmo likes to dance around in front of Ferrari a lot. He made a bubble nest in their old tank, but when I moved them to my house from my ex-boyfriend's, the bubbles of course disappeared. Ferrari seems quite plump, so my question is this-- will Elmo make a new bubble nest in the new tank? I'm worried that it was maybe a one time thing that got ruined from our move. I don't want Ferrari to become unhealthy because there is no place for her to lay her eggs, if that is what she's ready to do now. Elmo still flirts around with her, but he has not blown any recent bubbles. Is it possible that Ferrari putting on weight had nothing to do with the previous bubble nest? And is it possible that Elmo will make another nest if Ferrari needs one?

Answer
Hello Teneisha,
It sounds like Elmo didnt like the move you gave his nest :) No, this isnt the case, he will build another nest with time, he has to do it when he feels like it should be done! And it is a very good sign that Ferrari is getting plump, because this means she is full of eggs! once the Elmo has built his nest he will mate with her and then you should remove Ferrari and get prepared for babys! But dont take he out until she appears to be less plump, or there are babys in the tank!
