Bubble Nests

[laceypup]

OK - I have had my male veil tail betta for six months now - he's done very well solo in a 5g tank. I looked into his tank tonight and I saw a huge bubble nest! It is absolutely gorgeous - if I can figure out how, I'll add a photo to this post. My question is - why is he doing that?? I don't have any other bettas or fish, let alone a female! The past couple days he's spent an inordinate amount of time trying to scare me - puffing himself up at me LOL What's going on with him?? Thanks!

He's young, verile, and just hoping a ripe young lady fish will come along with her eggs and allow him to fill 'er up!

Actually, more like "squeeze her up"

By fill 'er up I meant the bubble nest, but you can take it that way if you want!

OK here's another photo - this is Chance, my betta boy He came home from the pet shop with septicemia & fin rot (I didn't realize it til he was home - he is only my 2nd betta ever) and after three "go-rounds" with the powerful antibiotics I had to get (the stuff just kept coming back at him) he finally recovered! His fins aren't as pretty as they (they're actually better looking than in this photo!) were but he's doing so well! He's grown at least half an inch since I've had him

This...is Chance....(the picture isn't the clearest by the way LOL).....and he must be admired LOL
