yeah I agree with baby_baby but also you have to remember that some bettas will adapt to tanks quickly and some take time because it is very stressful for them. Also after a few days when your betta knows its tank well enough he will get really active

Do you have a filter in the tank? That is probably what is popping his bubbles. That is what happened to my betta. I have also heard that some bettas have trouble building bubbles nests and it takes time for them to get it right

well maybe he needs practise then, put a small cup with an opening in the tank if he likes the spot he may start to blow bubbles in it, if it still doesn't work maybe he is just not capable
