He's a male, so isn't that what is always on our minds? hehehehehe :P :P :P

BTW, in the future, please say something like "getting ready to breed". We keep it all-ages friendly around here!

Back on topic, I dont keep bettas, but an old roomie used to, i recall they made nests frequently, even with no females around.

And if they don't build a nest a good way to prompt a nest is to give him a view of a female.

Not a good idea unless there is a safe haven you can put your female in after the courtship.
The male is the nurser of the Betta fry so they tent to have the motherly instinct.

Just means he is healthy and happy. Sounds like you are taking good care of him!
