Will my male betta make a bubble nest?

Question

I have bought a betta fish about a week ago. It is a male and it is just starting to make a bubble nest. As far as i know he has not been with a female but i have not been with him for his entire life. So my question is while i have fry or do all male just do it. and how do i change the water?

So is he just making it or is there actual eggs in it????

Answer 1

They all do that mine did that and it never had babies the nest will go away and he might make it again.

Answer 2

No males cannot have eggs. That is why they are males. But contrary to belief bettas do not make bubble nests because they are happy or are comfortable in a tank although it needs some conditions to want to reproduce. It just means they are ready to mate. Some will never make a bubble nest. You can change the water how you usually do whether you disturb the nest or not. If you take it out he will either start to make it again or he will just give up for the time being.

EDIT: They will make a bubble nest regardless to a feamale being in the tank or not. Though they might be more eager to make a nest if he sees a female.

Answer 3

All males do this. Just change the water as you would normally do. By changing the water, you will take away all the bubbles though but it's okay, he'll make new ones. He just makes it and there are no eggs in it. Until you put a female in and they mate, you will not have any baby bettas, or fry.  

Answer 4

If you do not have a girl fish in the same  fish tank/ bowl, No your male betta will not make a bubble nest. Because it needs a female fish to lay eggs in it.

Answer 5

Well for one congrats to your fish making a bubble nest! when he does that, that means that your beta fish is happy,healthy and well fed! =]

He needs a female beta in there with him in order to have fry. The female will lay the eggs and the male will carry the eggs in his mouth and place them in the bubble nest. Then that's where the fry will hatch.
