One of my betta pairs spawned today, but have almost no bubble nest. He's wildly collecting and spitting eggs into his imaginary nest. Will they survive?

Do you have another male who has blown a nest? You could carefully scoop it out and put it in the spawning tank for your male to spit the eggs into...

I did have one, but I scooped it in before the eggs were laid & then he neglected to maintain it. I don't have any other spare bubbles laying around at the moment. I'll remember that technique though if it happens again.

If it's not too late, you might consider a fatherless hatch... lower the water to only a few inches, and wait. At 29deg it should take about 24hrs or so for the fry to hatch, then 1 or 2 days to become free swimming.
