bubbles on the surface of the water?

[kelsey.borza]

I have only had my betta fish for a few days and ive noticed there is a large area of tiny bubbles on the surface of the water... does this mean anything?

[southafrica1001]

if the bubbles are smallish (but not to small) and are very close together it could mean that your betta has been blowing a bubble nest which is used when males and females mate. ( the male deposits the eggs into the bubble nest). Have you seen you betta blowing bubbles? any chance of a picture

i just noticed it is blowing those bubbles like crazy. when will she stop?

[zerlinafish]

No worries, it is a bubblenest...it means she feels safe and happy...and that she is ready to mate. It is a good thing.

sure its a she and not a he?
Dose your fish have long or short fins? If long, not she, but actually he ;D

My male beta blue Bandit has made two now...1 before we left on our trip, before I changed the water...the second I found when I got back, as he re-built it :D

here's a pic of his first one, after I moved the tank to change to water (2.5 gal tank)
