Bubbles on betta tank

[gilraen]

I've had a betta in a 1 gal tank with filter and RO H2O for 1 week now. I started noticing yesterday all this bubbles floating on top of the water on the edges of the tank, looks like saliva, I already did a 50% H2O change, betta looks great and bubbles are back. What is this? Is it true that it means he 'wants' a betta girl?

it sounds to me like it is a bubble nest. Anyone else who has breeding bettas want to help out on this one?

your betta is very happy and comfortable of where he is, if he is blowing bubble nests that means he's looking around his little area for a female to show them he is the hot one in the bunch....dont worry...bubblenests are what they do...need more info on bettas other then this....try www.bettatalk.com great site on all your needs for bettas. Good Luck!

I agree with the others -- your betta is very happy and content in his home, and his instinct to make a bubble nest has kicked in!

My bettas made bubble nests all the time. I never bred them, though. You don't have to breed the male just because he is making a nest. He's just doing what comes naturally to him. As you have seen, he will make a new nest after a water change.

Great! I used to tell my husband that someday our whole house would be one big bubblenest -- that's how big my one betta used to make his nests!
