I got a fish for my other fish so it wouldn’t be lonely...
Erm they started to make a bubble nest today and I just got the new fish 2 days ago...

Queen S - 6 years ago

My betta has bubbles around his tank does that mean it’s a bubble nest?

Betta. Slimez - 6 years ago

Fishy Bubble Hey! So my sisters betta fish is pregnant. We never mated the fish so I get she mated before we got her. Idk what to do. Like us she able to give birth and put them in a bubble nest on her own? It randomly put in my male. And what do we do after they are born? Please help! We did not over feed her? I have never had this happen and I'm sorry if I sound stupid.

Betta. Slimez - 6 years ago

Got2LoveFish Ohhh ok! Thank you so much!

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

Kayla Smith:3 Females will get larger bellies from time to time just the natural prices of having eggs ready but they never get fertalized, this is normal. I would not put males and females together without significant research because without proper introduction the male will kill the female. The male is the one to take care of the eggs and fry and it is very difficult to breed Betta fish because the babies need live food.

If anyone can help me my betta build bubble nest 5 days ago but they are not breeding anyone can help me here is my wattsapp number 7057098266

Lawrence Rodrigues - 6 years ago

My beta is making bubble nest but he is also chasing female beta

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

Lawrence Rodrigues Yep, males like to be alone, they will chase away females and even kill them if they are not ready to breed

Delmer johnson - 6 years ago

How many pups can they have?

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

They can have up to hundreds of fry. Baby fish are called fry.

*•S t r a n g e r•* - 6 years ago

So do I have to buy a female betta fish? Or is it normal just to leave it without a mate.

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

It is fine to leave them without a mate!

Gamerboy70 - 6 years ago

So I want to start breeding my Berta and he already made his bubble nest. Does this mean that I can skip some steps of breeding? If so what steps?

Gamerboy70 - 6 years ago

Got2LoveFish ok thank you. If my betta gets aggressive with the bubble nest, that would mean he is a male because his tail isn't too big but yet he also isn't very old. I just want to make sure he is a male.

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

Gamerboy70 You should still do all the steps because now the female still needs to be prepared for breeding by seeing the male. You just dont have to wait for the male to get ready as long, but he still needs to see the female.

Chicken Strips - 6 years ago

Every time I clean my fish tank he makes a new one. EVERYTIME!!! Is this good?

oh thx good u told ne yhis bc i took all the bubbles out i thought it was something bad

ItsC - 6 years ago

So I just got my betta yesterday - and I noticed some small tiny bubbles underneath the leaf of a plant, is it a bubble nest?

ItsC - 6 years ago

Got2LoveFish thanks for the answer! I found it was a bubble nest - it was just fun seeing it underneath the plant

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

ItsC Possibly, it is either bubbles from your Betta or they just got trapped there some how.

NerdGoogle - 6 years ago

I feed my betta, bettaplus and give 2 pellets.But she is not eating and 3 days have passed. What do I do?????

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

NerdGoogle If she is active that is a good sign, keep trying to feed her, do more water changes, and maybe try some bloodworms to get her to eat again.

NerdGoogle - 6 years ago

She looks great, and always swimming around.Can a tank affect a fish?

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

NerdGoogle Is there any other sign of sickness? spots on body, fins, etc. sluggish?

Florida Kid - 6 years ago

My male vetail Electro made a bubble nest. But there were no females. I felt bad cause he's lonely and wants someone. But they would kill each other. Someone please explain!

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

Yep, I bet he would like that!

Florida Kid - 6 years ago

Got2LoveFish Thank you. He is happy and in a big 10 gallon I belive. I will consider getting little objects to put in his tank. Thanks again.

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

As explained in this video bubble nests can be built for many different reasons, happy, sad, bored, wanting to mate, its fun, etc. I don't really think anyone truly knows why they are built. I would not worry that your betta is lonely, as long as he has a big enough tank and things to explore, including watching you. Then he should be fine. You can find out more if you check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx2kr2YNpEY&t=2s

Angie Zoldowski - 6 years ago

We are new to Betta fish. Is our Betta fish sick if it is lying around at the bottom of the fish tank and doesn't swim a lot? We have a few things in the water for it ( live plant, snail, and a pineapple to swim in an out of).

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

Angie Zoldowski Did you just get him, does the tank have a filter, how big is the tank and how often are water changes done? This will help me see if he may be sick from something or if he is bored or stressed.

ms.Caddi - 6 years ago

is there anything I can do if beta makes bubble nest???

ms.Caddi - 6 years ago

Got2LoveFish ok. thank you.

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

ms.Caddi It is just something Betta fish do naturally, nothing has to be done about it.

Maddie Bags - 6 years ago

my beta makes nest all the time but sometimes when i check on him throughout the day I notice that the nest isn't in a cluster anymore and it looks like her destroys it. is this normal?

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

Madilyn Bagley Thats good, I don't think you should worry, he probably would like a larger tank and the real plants will definentally not hurt his fins like plastic ones tend to do. Also bloodworms are a great source of protein for fish but that is basically all they are so it is best to give them as a treat once or twice a week and feed Betts pellets regularly, 3 or 4 pellets a day, that contain a better balanced diet.

Maddie Bags - 6 years ago

my bad I meant gal

Maddie Bags - 6 years ago

Yes it's just my one male in the tank. Should I worry? He looks a lot better since I brought him home from the pet store and I feed him bloodworms. He is in a 1.5lb tank right now I'm debating on upgrading him to a 5lb with real plants? I've seen get snagged on a plastic plant and I took it out immediately. Any tips to make him maybe less bored ? (when I do 100% water changes I rearrange the tank so he has variety)

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

Madilyn Bagley Is it just the male in by himself? If so he may destroy it out of boredom or playfulnes or curiosity, it is typically them just doing something to do something because that don't need the bubble nest to stay there. Also if there is a filter or air stone that could mess it up.

Isaac Ixtupe - 6 years ago

Its a 29 gallon

Isaac Ixtupe - 6 years ago

I have a community tank. In it I have 4 Danios (GlowLight) 4 Neon Tetras 2 Amano Shrimps and my two Bettas. The female Betta is carrying eggs is there a specific plant leaf I need to buy for the male to make his nest? And hoe to prevent any aggression among the other fishes in the tank? I am fairly new at this hobby. Cheers!

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

The aggression in the tank with those fish should be pretty low. The male Betts will build a bubble nest wear the water does not move, so if you take a plastic or Styrofoam cup and cut it in half and then tape it to the side open side down it creates a place where the male can make it. The problem I see right now is that they may or may not want to breed with other fish around. I am also ki d of surprised they Re getting allowed g right now. If they are not ready to breed the female may just drop the eggs. Make sure you watch plenty of videos and look at plenty of articles and forums to get as much information about needing bettas as possible, that can have a lot of babies, such will eventually become aggressive, and that typically need to be given live food when young, they are not a easy fish to raise.

Got2LoveFish - 6 years ago

What size tank is it? That is the biggest thing I need to know to help determine what needs to be done to keep down aggression, smaller tanks will cause fish to be aggressive because they are to crowded and larger tanks need lots of hiding places.

Wolfie - 6 years ago

i have 2 males. Ace and Night. They are brothers so i put them in the same tank with a big wall, There are small holes for them to see each other. Anyway, back on track. When i got my female, Forest, Ace and Night started making bubble nest. I now want to breed Forest with Night (Not Ace . Ace is bae) XD. I told my dad we will sell the unwanted (Unwanted like ones i don't want) for $5 and we will keep the pretty Ones XD

nice video! thanks for the advice!

nidish Z - 7 years ago

is it good to remove those bubble nest

Got2LoveFish - 7 years ago

nidish Z It doesn't matter if you remove it or not, if the Bettas really wants it he will rebuild it.

Iana 30 - 7 years ago

I was having a bit of trouble when i'm changing my betta's water because i need to switch him to another bowl...
After when i already changed the water and brought it back to its original tank, my betta is making a bubble nest and he doesn't move to much :/
Before i changed the water he kepts swimming but after i changed it, he won't move

PsychoProsa - 7 years ago

I bought a betta 2 days ago and he made a bubble nest on the side of the filter.. now he's aggressive and tries to get there but the streaming of the filter pushes him back... doesn't that stress him out by constantly swimming to the bubble nest but being pushed back? (sry, english isn't my native language)

Ariel - 7 years ago

why did my betta fish bite me when I tried to destroy his bubble nest?

Oli Benjamin - 6 years ago

Why would u destroy it

Charlie Yang - 6 years ago

Probably because you tried to destroy his nest. The nest is for holding the eggs.

SmartThrob - 7 years ago

He probably doesn't like you invading his territory. Bettas are territorial fish. Another reason could be that you are attempting to destroy a project that takes effort and patience. Destroying it may not go well with your Betta.

Lauren Tuveson - 7 years ago

can bubble nests vary in size? cause my Bettas isn't much bigger than this...

Lauren Tuveson - 7 years ago

Ok thanks

Got2LoveFish - 7 years ago

Yes, it just depends on how big the betta makes it.

clifftclock - 7 years ago

my betta made a huuge bubble nest overnight it covered like 1/3 of his 5 gallon tank

My betta made a bubble nest and I have to clean it out today.....what should I do....I don't want to destroy it....

Foxgirlgamer - 7 years ago

+Got2LoveFish Ok. Thanks.

Got2LoveFish - 7 years ago

It is fine if a bubble nest is destroyed, they can just rebuild it but if you still don't want to the next time he builds one just scoop it out with a cup, clean the tank, then place it back in.

Adrian Rodriguez - 7 years ago

thx this video helps me alot big thx to whoever made it

Kitty Scar Kat - 7 years ago

Do bettas fish eat there young??

Got2LoveFish - 7 years ago

+Scar Witch Not at first, the males actually care for the eggs and fry when they hatch. Once they become free swimming is when some bettas may start to eat the babies.

KALIIGIIRL 949 - 8 years ago

this was helpful thanks I was always wondering why mine would do so since I only bought him for my brother BC he liked it and didn't take much interest in his info only for what he needed so thanks ... I do have a question though only male bettas have that umbrella fin type by their gills right?

Robyn Norwood - 8 years ago

Do they get stressed if they don't actually get a mate considering they're kind of preparing for one by making the nests? Mine keeps a nest in his tank constantly. I kinda feel sympathetic, but don't want to breed any more Bettas or get him a wife

Jude Jacinto - 8 years ago

my betta fish laid eggs

Farell Gantara - 8 years ago

how do i know if theres eggs inside the bubble nest?

Jude Jacinto - 8 years ago

a male betta fish cannot produce eggs

NEB Barnes - 8 years ago

Really? I thought it was because he is happy :( He is in a 10 gallon tank with 3 penguin tetras who are very shy. He swims around a lot but also like to hide in his sleeping spot. But as soon as I walk up he is up front begging for food. :) So cute!

Marlon Vasquez - 7 years ago

it's not harmful to the fish at all, he will rebuild it or just make a new one

Samie San - 8 years ago

Hei again, my betta have started to make bobble nests, when will i know when he is ready and the female is ready, thanks :)

Samie San - 8 years ago

Hey, do i need filter inside my tank or can my betta live without the filter? Because i think my betta is not making bubbles is because the water is not still

Samie San - 8 years ago

Thanks

Got2LoveFish - 8 years ago

A filter is good to have in the tank, it has tons of benefits. What you can do if you would like to you can either move the filter up or down to make it so the top of the water does not have as many waves or block of a corner of the tank with something like a straw so that it kind of blocks the waves. Even if the water is still a betta may not build a bubble nest.

Kedre Harris - 8 years ago

my male betta built a bubble nest and it disappeared

Got2LoveFish - 8 years ago

The closer the size normally the better but if anything the female can be a little smaller.

Kedre Harris - 8 years ago

how do you breed bettas do the bettas need to be the same size

Got2LoveFish - 8 years ago

That is normal, it will go away after a bit if he does not keep making bubbles.

Sejal Baptista - 8 years ago

Thanks:))

Sejal Baptista - 8 years ago

i mean like
can i wash my tank when he as a bubble nest

Got2LoveFish - 8 years ago

Yes you can, if he wants to re build it he will.

can u wash the tank or do water changes

Got2LoveFish - 8 years ago

+david Drot That's fine, sometimes females will blow bubble nests.

0065pop AJ - 8 years ago

I have a male and 2 females.. I placed the male in a breeding tank since I'm trying to breed them. Of course I'm only gonna use one female XD All I need is the male to make a bubblenest but he's not making one.. Is there anyways to help him make a bubblenest? Or is there anythings I need to add to the tank to help him build his nest from?? I have a betta book and I've done every thing in there to help him.. Help!!

Got2LoveFish - 8 years ago

+0065pop AJ The male may need to see the female without having her in the tank but not all the time only an hour or a couple of hours a day.

Erin Groves - 8 years ago

If my fish has a bubbles nest should I clean the tank

Got2LoveFish - 8 years ago

+Erin Groves Yes, clean the tank if he wants a bubble nest he will rebuild it.

Daniela Cardoza - 8 years ago

My male made a bubble nest should I put a female beta in with it?

La chuliz - 8 years ago

+Got2LoveFish No Duhh !!

Got2LoveFish - 8 years ago

+Mayritaa Bettas decide when they want to make bubble nests. They do not make the bubbles for the nests every time they breed.

La chuliz - 8 years ago

That also means its gasping for air and its making bubbles everytime it breathes

AnimalLover - 9 years ago

My Betta Fish is not making a bubble nest. Is that bad?

JElo Ingusan - 8 years ago

+Got2LoveFish thanks my betta fish is too happy he is resting little bit and swim again

AnimalLover - 9 years ago

+Got2LoveFish
Thanks.

Got2LoveFish - 9 years ago

That's fine

AnimalLover - 9 years ago

+Got2LoveFish My Betta Fish hides when I'm not there but when I come to hiss tank he is swimming around and follows me around his tank.

Got2LoveFish - 9 years ago

Unlike what most sources say, a bubble nest does not mean they are happy. You can tell they are happy if they are always swimming around and exploring their environment, they should never rest for extended periods of time but a quick little rest then going back to swimming is fine. He should be engaged when you come over to the tank and be curious, even if he is hiding and just looking out from behind a plant. Basically a healthy happy betta is always moving and exploring, that is why they like their tank changed up every once in a while.

AnimalLover - 9 years ago

+Got2LoveFish Oh, how do I know my Betta Fish is happy?

Got2LoveFish - 9 years ago

+AnimalLover No, its not bad. Some bettas just don't make them and that is fine, it just has to do with the betta' s personality.

gtafelon - 9 years ago

Sweet video. :)

Betta Care - 9 years ago

Daym! I thought my betta was healthy D:

Cindafukinrella - 9 years ago

so do you need to create a place in the tank for him to build a under such as a leaf or substitute

Got2LoveFish - 9 years ago

You should no have male and female bettas together, the males are very territorial and may kill the females, and they build bubble nests when they want not always when females are present, I would highly recommend taking the male out, it will be less stressful for all the fish.

Cindafukinrella - 9 years ago

+Got2LoveFish
OK Ta, My male must be gay!!! in a tank with 4 girls and is happy as larry just swimming about. He started of with 1 nothing then 2 - had a fight then nothing, now 4 = gay, lol

Got2LoveFish - 9 years ago

no you do not need to they will just make it in the corner if they want, if they feel like making one they will make it but if they don't they wont so it does not really matter if there is a leaf or something to make it under or not, if that all made sense, haha, so no you don't (:
