Bettas Bubble nest

ikermalli · 10-25-2007, 03:51 PM

I treat my betta so well, and he is so happy in his 5 Gallon and he always is swimming everywhere and I have a bio-wheel filter and I do a 10% water change each week but he is not blowing a bubble nest! Anybody know why? Or have any Ideas?

Bettas sometimes make bubble nests when they're happy, which seems to be what you're trying to achieve. I'd assume that a betta wouldn't put a nest in a place where the water was very agitated. You change your water frewquently, which is a good thing, but maybe he doesn't think it's a good place to make a nest. Lack of a nest doesn't mean he isn't happy

phew, OK. That's relieving, but I only change ten percent and when he used to make bubble nests i would avoid taking them out

I agree, just because he isn't making bubble nests, doesn't mean he isn't happy.

Okay he isnt going to splash out of your tank and attack you with machetes for getting rid of some bubbles he blew out of his mouth, man.
Its okay!
He isnt going to send you chain letters to your email account and try to steal your girlfriend or run off with your bike and paint the town periwinkle, either.

lol, yeah but I like having his bubble nest their and i read somewhere that bettas stop blowing bubble nests if they keep on getting taken away

no.... because eventually bubble nests will disappear anyways
