Answer 2

mightt be a buble nest

Answer 3

he's just farting.

Answer 4

the bubbles were created from the betta fish because he is happy and healthy.  The bubbles are actually sperm from the betta fish.

Answer 5

Haha The just farting answer made me crack up.

If the bubbles are clumped together then yes, its a nest. If they are spread apart then its not.

Here is a picture of a small nest:

The ones that my betta make are bigger though.

Congrats on your healthy betta! :D

Answer 6

x3 I know what you mean. My bettas blow bubbles all  the time and it's not always a nest.

The best way to tell is if the bubbles are concentrated in one area. Do you have a foam-e mass all in a corner? If so then it's a nest, especially if they're all sticky and stick to anything that get near them.

If the bubbles are randomly everywhere in the tank, with no specific area, then your betta is just being weird.

Answer 7

Betta fish dont just blow a bunch of bubbles.

If he's making bubbles then he's happy and well cared for!

And each bubble nest will vary from other's as some betta fish build 4 bubble's deep, and others just blow smallish ones that are no deeper than one bubble.

It just depends on your particular dad!

Congrats on the happy healthy fish!

Answer 8

betta fish only blow bubbles when  they are makeing a nest. the just dont blow bubbles arround the tank...

Answer 9

bubble nests are kinda foamy looking and they arent easily destroyed.  just bubbles would be larger and pop in a few seconds.
