bubble nest or just bubbles

[Airli]

how do you know?
i have two veil tales that have never made a bubble nest but it looks as if my crown has. im not sure though because ive never seen one before and its not too big. so how can you tell?

It should basically be a large area full of bubbles. They may be piled on top of each other. They basically mean your betta is content enough to make a nest or so I've been told.

Yep, it usually means that they're happy with their water condition, etc. It could also be mating season.

Or they make bubblenests when it's about to be stormy or is stormy.

The natural breeding season for Bettas is first thing in the spring, when the rains come in Thailand and the water level starts to come up, bringing with it lots of fresh, small food. So even in captivity, they get very excited when the storms come, and the barometic pressure changes. It means breeding season to them, and they really respond to it by building their nests. This is similar to when they get a fresh water change, I believe...all that fresh water stimulates their nesting because it resembles the addition of fresh water from spring rains.
