Betta Bubble Nest

[ryanp15]

so is it just a small mass of little bubbles against the glass? It looks quite like what I've seen before, it was in the male half of my tank.

Certainly sounds like a bubble nest but a picture would definitely help.

Do males all make bubble nests....mine started last night, just wondered?

Yeah, they make bubble nest when they are happy or they want to breed

males tend to make bubble nest when they are happy and ready to breed.. mine are rather happy and make nests all the time.. however i wont be breeding them for another month n a half.. but nonetheless.. just because they dont make a nest doesnt mean theyre not happy.. some males just wont make a nest like others.. and others will only make bubble nests under things like styrofoam..

Not all males will make a bubblenest.
Some won't no matter what, some only will if they can make it under something (like a leaf that rests at the surface of the water).
So don't get paranoid if your male doesn't make a bubblenest and think something is wrong.

oh right, well i thought maybe he was happier than the other day I've only had him a couple of days also, he's really trying to get through to the female side, but that might not mean he wants to breed! lol, he might just want a fight

so when they look ready to breed do you just put them together? (not that I'm gonna try just yet!)

well they would have to be conditioned and such and then when you put them together theres a certain procedure to go about so that everything will work out... you can find more information pinned at the top of the betta forum...
