Orange Bubble nest?

I have had bettas for several years now and have never had a problem (except one of them got constipated) but I just got a new betta and his bubble nests are orange. I thought at first it may have been a problem with the water, but I've changed his tank 3 times and each time he makes a nest it has orange bubbles. I've googled TONS of different things trying to find out what's wrong but can't seem to find anything. There is nothing visibly wrong with him, he swims and eats fine. Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

I don't know, the bubbles is just air isn't it? I don't know how the orange color could be from the fish itself.

Could you post a picture of it? That's really weird.

Upload the picture to something like photobucket, then post the imag link into the reply and it should post the picture.

Here are the links to those pictures. I got him from a petstore out of pity. lol whenever I see them in there in those tiny little bowls I heart breaks. He was too pretty to just let him sit there and rot! He'll never be a breeder because he's too old but I couldn't leave him there! lol
These pictures don't do the colour justice, it is much more vivid in real life. (I've also changed the water about 6 times so It's not near as orange as it was.

the stuff that looks like gunk are popped bubbles, when he first makes them you can tell that the bubbles are yellow. I just feed him regular betta food from the petstore. It's the same stuff I feed the rest of my bettas, although I was thinking of feeding him some blood worms. He's really pretty :)
