    I dont use bubble wrap, but I would guess you just olace a square piece in the tank, and the male would use that as a starting point to build his nest, that way you can also minupulate @ where you want him to build his nest.

    So another update, we lost the blue female, she jumped through a very small hole. Also lost the red male, was of his age, sadly.... But here is the few we have left.
