Part 2/5:
The Nesting Ritual
During the breeding season, the male's air-breathing ability plays a pivotal role in its courtship and reproduction. The male diligently works to construct a bubble raft, a creative nesting structure made from air bubbles that he blows. This labor-intensive process showcases his dedication and ensures the future of his offspring.
The Dance of Life
As the male prepares the bubble nest, a female watches eagerly from a distance. When she is ready, she approaches the male, and the two engage in a tender embrace. This intimate union is essential to their reproductive success, as it encourages the female to release her eggs.
