My betta fish bubble nests?

Question

my beta fish keeps on making bubbles. i heard that they were bubble nests. can you like go to the pet store to ask them if they can breed my fish? can you do that? thanks

Answer 1

First of all, the bubbles that your betta makes are a bubble nest.  Most male bettas make bubble nests if they are relatively happy and healthy.  However, this isn't a sign that you should be breeding him.  Breeding bettas is a very costly, time-consuming hobby, and should only be done by the experienced aquarist.  In fact, most bettas that you purchase from a pet store are too old to breed anyway.

The bubble nest isn't a cause for concern.  It's normal betta behavior, just like flaring.

Answer 2

dont buy another fish to accompany it!

betta fish are fighting fish.  

Answer 3

I don't think that a pet store would "breed" your fish for you. Why don't you try buying a fe/male fish to accompany yours?

Answer 4

The bubble nest means it is happy. Do not bring it to a petstore to breed and do not breed it yourself. Bettas can produce more than 100 offspring. Do you have the homes/tanks for all those bettas? It is also a complicated process and you'll need lots of equipment and live food to feed the babies that is often not found in pet stores.

Answer 5

Yes, that is called a bubble nest. Male betta blow them when they are ready for a mate.

Mating a betta is not a good idea unless you are prepared for 1,000+ baby bettas.

And if you do decide to mate your betta, you need to be careful on how you do such. You need to keep the male and female betta separated after the spawning ritual and such.

[[your male will basically dance for hours on end]]

He will then wrap his body around the female and literally squeeze the eggs right out of her.

Have fun, and be safe.

If you don't keep an eye out, one [[if not both]] of the bettas used to mate will surely die.

Thankies!
