    Hello, For the first 6 months I had my betta he was an avid bubble nest builder (photos attached). Even when I'd destroy them from water changes he'd go right back to making new ones. However, for the past month, he has suddenly stopped making them. He made one in the past month, but the next...

    Hi all So right as we were about to put our new betta in his tank, I noticed a bunch of bubbles at the surface of the water, looks like a bunch of bubble nests but with no fish😂 What could be causing this? Is it cause for concern?

    I recently got a new betta, and a new tank. It has been doing great and I haven’t seen issues so far. I am starting to notice these bubbles at the surface. I’m not sure if it’s normal or if they are bubble nests, but I want opinions to see if I should do a water change or if something is wrong...

    Hello All, I brought my betta home about a week ago week ago. Now he tweakin ho. He’s making bubbles with no form, just randomly placed around the entire surface. I’ve look everywhere and only see examples of bubble nests in clusters. Is this pattern, or lack there of, normal behavior?

    Hey! So today I noticed that my boy has some bubbles on top of his water surface. They aren’t a cluster of bubbles so it doesn’t look like his normal bubble nest, just some random bubbles across the top. They’re not covering the top, just some scattered around. Nothing is different in his tank...

    My male betta started staying close to the top of the water with his mouth very close to the surface, getting air every once in a while, and sometimes blowing bubbles. I thought he was making a bubble nest but he doesn't seem to be very energetic and isn't focusing on a nest. I just did a 50%...

    Two days ago I noticed my betta had a small pinhole in his dorsal fin. I took him out of his 10 gallon put him in a 2.5 gallon QT and gave him the appropriate dosage of Bettafix. His hole healed over almost immediately, but this morning before leaving I thought I should keep him in with the...

    Hi folks, Well, it looks like I did everything wrong that one can do wrong. I wish I had found this forum before getting our Betta. Long story short, our Betta went from a vase, yes a flower vase, to a Fluvial Chi 5 gallon aquarium without any "cycling" or other precautions other than adding...

    Hello, I have a gorgeous male crowntail betta named Goblin. He is (seemingly) extremely healthy and loves his 4 gallon setup. We seem to have a great relationship :-D He does something interesting - he comes up to the surface and blows LARGE bubbles. PLEASE NOTE: I am fully aware of bubble...

    So I had an interesting conversation (That I was totally fine with) on a betta fish forum on facebook. My betta is doing well by the way, everyone ;-) There was a newbie owner who had their betta in on of those cheap bug tank things from petsmart. He had clean water and everything, but the...

    Hey everyone! So I finally got my Hydor Theo 25 watt heater for my 2.5 filtered tank. It's been keeping the tank at 80 degrees (even though I have to set it for like 76). And I just noticed this white inside the heater. Are these bubbles? Is it cracked/broken? Should it be removed?

    So, I noticed today that my new little orange betta was having a tough time swimming down. I figured he might have a little constipation and was going to fast him. Then I noticed that he kept eating the tiny bubbles at the top on his tank that he has been releasing! Could the air bubbles he has...

    This is my betta Blaze. I feed him twice a day. 11am and 8 pm. I've only had him for about three or four days. Today I woke up and noticed those bubbles in his tank.. I know about bubble nests but these ones are just on the surface spread out. I just want to make sure its normal.. I had a...

    Hello! I'm new. I often Google specific info for helping care for my recent life partner, Peter the Fish, and wound up here so often I decided to register. I had been wanting to ask someone else with experience about my betta's exceptional rage. I have had many bettas, and had several for many...

    My betta had not made a bubble nest in a few weeks, then he made one recently after I did his routine water change. This one is just HUGE though, and he keeps adding to it. It started looking like a normal one but this morning there were bigger bubbles in it..which concerns me a little bit. I...
  17. Breeding Betta Fish
    So my crowntail male (Calypso) has begun building a bubble nest underneath a piece of bubble wrap I have placed in the tank as the nest anchor. He flares when he sees the female and seems to be impressively more active than when I bought him at the pet store. (Please don't despise me because I...

    I got a baby betta, Charlie, from Petco about a month and a half ago. The past 2-3 weeks I have really noticed a color change and bigger fins. But he definitely isn't done growing yet. Today I went to change his water and I noticed what looked like a bubble nest forming near his filter (I'm...

    So I got a new tank for my betta Blue, and I washed everything but was careful not to use soap. The tank is one gallon and has brand new decor and gravel as well as a new air filter system with the tube and blue air stone. I turned the filter system on and it was fine for a few minutes and I let...
