What does this bubble making mean??? Please say me... Even my Phoenix (beta fish name) is doing the same

Novial Riptide - 7 years ago

my betta was doing this until the filter destroyed it...

I have this stuff in my planted tank with no betta. Neon tetras, blue rams, gourami, mystery snails, cherry red shrimp

TheGolemHunter - 7 years ago

In a one month period, my fish made two in the same spot! Im so glad he is happy and thriving. He is only in a 2.5 gall (would have got bigger but people say thats the bare minimum) filtered, heated, lit and currently going through the cycle now. I was so scared that the cycle would stress or kill him but he is hanging on!

xEndiePearlx - 7 years ago

I showed this. Video to my betta by putting the phone up against the glass and he flared for 5 seconds then he started making a nest :D

Blurred Glitch - 7 years ago

I have my betta in a 2.5 gallon tank. he likes to rest in a corner of the tank on some of the plants every now and then. I actually just noticed the large bundle of bubbles.
he's one of the most active fish I have ever seen, of course, most betta I've seen have been in small vases... the poor things.

Eleven Eyes - 7 years ago

Little sister got a beta fish awhile ago, trying to learn about it. Sad to see kids get fish for them to live miserably until they eventually die from improper care. Trying to do what I can to make life easier for it even though I've never had a pet fish before. I'm afraid to give it a name (as my sister hasnt given it one) because it'll be even more depressing once it does finally die.

I've had three Betta fish so far the first one was named Bluefish, the second one was named Bluefish Jr, and the third one was named Buddy, and I'm gonna name by fourth one Thunderbolt (whenever I get it)

Jackalope 212 - 7 years ago

I got my dragonscale betta Draco nearly 2 weeks ago and for the past few days he's been building a bubble nest, but always too close to the filter and the running water kept messing it up. Today he's finally getting it right and now it's twice as big as it was before! I also didn't know why he was doing it until I looked up online and was surprised and pretty happy. He also started doing it in the part of the tank where I stand to feed him and his tank mates so I think he's showing off, lol!

I'm a new betta owner. My male was beating up the female we got. We moved her as soon as we seen her injuries. Is this normal?

What's up guys? Scarce here! Roleplay - 7 years ago

crf450r bullet david yes it means their acutally mating it's normal TRUST me

Austin Salgat - 7 years ago

You're not supposed to keep two males together, however you can keep multiple females with a male or even multiple females without a male.

Katy Sullivan - 8 years ago

crf450r bullet david yes you should not keep betas together. If it's a male and a female they will mate within a day, if they do not remove one and put it in a separate tank

Ariel - 8 years ago

my betta is building a bubble nest. however, i am gonna add a filter in the place on Wednesday. Is it okay if I destroy his bubble nest? Would that upset him?
Also, i just got this fish for about a week. But I changed him to two different tanks, changed water for more than 5 times, and is it okay if I change 100% water on Wednesday? Is that too frequently? (bc i wanna redecorate my tank, but i am concern that he would be stress by the new environment.)
Need some advice.
Thank you so much!!!

TheLoneWolf Playz - 7 years ago

DON'T. The filter might cause a bit to much current and pop the bubbles.

Modern Cartoon Love // Josh Animations - 8 years ago

I have a quick question. Why did my female betta fish suddenly start building this nest? It's only for males, right?

Sydney Anderson-moore - 8 years ago

the male is more likely to build it as he is the caretaker for the babies, but the female can do it if she is so inclined, or is ready to mate.

Kathy Hanson - 8 years ago

ok... my male beta keeps making bubble nests.. so if it wants to mate how does that work? as i have heard the male will kill a female beta.. ????

Jackalope 212 - 7 years ago

That's not 100% true. Male bettas will make bubble nests if the conditions are right (water is the right temp, chemical balance is good, and so on) but they will make nests even if there are no females around. Also, all bettas have different personalities and might get along with other fish and even other bettas (but NEVER put 2 males together, they will fight to the death), while other bettas rather be alone. My betta is in a community tank with some shrimp, ADFs, a snail and a tetra and he's building a nest.

I had got one male betta from the pet store 4 months ago he wouldn't make buble nest then I got another male he wouldn't either but as soon as I increase the temp. it was like they came out of a trance and made bubble nests

Sha-Rie Robirds - 8 years ago

I got my first betta only 2 months ago. Without doing any research, I foolishly bought the "starter kit" that was only 1.5 gallons. It did not take long for me to realize my betta was miserable. He was constantly searching for an escape (swimming back and forth in an erratic way) and I could not keep the water clean. Last weekend, I upgraded him to a 5 gallon aquarium, and within 3 days he built his first HUGE bubble nest! I did not even know what it was at first, so I skimmed it off the top of the water thinking it was an imbalance of some sort. He built a new one the very next day, and I happened to catch him doing it. Then I knew there was something deliberate about the behavior and not a water problem. I am so glad to finally know it means he thinks his new environment is now worthy of babies!

Novial Riptide - 7 years ago

bruh he said he just upgraded to a 5 gallon tank

RabbitGirl - 7 years ago

1.5 gal is too small, he will be happier in a 2.5 or 5

do not use the 1.5 gallon tanks.

Amanda Quail - 8 years ago

Can my betta make a bubble nest from the bubbles from a bubbler or does that mean I need to turn down my bubbler?

iCassidy - 8 years ago

Not true. happieness is a myth for bubble nest and it actullay means that your betta wants to mate.

Asif Ifas - 8 years ago

Try putting some dwarf water lettuce in the tank. it's a floating plant. the day I added it ours built a huge nest. now it's about 9 inches worth.

it means they happy and healthy if they build a nest. but doesn't always mean it's unhappy unhealthy if it doesn't build a nest.

Keeps them busy I suppose.

Leanne Girard - 9 years ago

My Betta just started doing this the other day! I never even knew they did this until I started seeing all these random bubbles.. I don't have a female so I guess he is trying to tell me He wants one and some babies! lol He hasn't been working hard like yours, He just had random bubbles everywhere! I was kind of shocked because I have had him almost 3 years! It is very neat to watch!

AndrewRodden - 7 years ago

Leanne Girard this was 2 years ago. But random bubbles are a sign of an unhealthy Betta. Its only when it's in a cluster, especially in a corner that it's a sign of good health and happiness

Rachel Anderson - 11 years ago

Bettas are labyrinths(they have the labyrinth organ), which allows them to breathe air on the water surface, so he's most likely just exhaling.

They make bubble nests when they are happy.

epf1961 - 11 years ago

Thanks for posting this-- We have a male betta, and he must be shy about building his bubble nests, because he builds them when we're not looking! We just find them in the morning or after being away for the day. So this is the first time I actually get to see how he must be doing it!

natalieoca - 11 years ago

do they only make bubble nests when they see a female/want to mate? or will they just do it when they are alone too (sort of like instinct)

reesiecup3 - 11 years ago

It's really all about the warm water when it comes to betta fish. Even a heated half gallon tank can produce a thriving and healthy betta. My orange butterfly veiltail betta, Feather, lives in a heated half gallon tank with water changes done every other day and he is extremely active. He builds bubble nests regularly and loves swimming around the plant and heater in his tank. ^^

Brenton Basnaw - 11 years ago

How come my betta won't try to make one I have tried so much stuff I just want him to breed

Axel Gonzalez - 11 years ago

Deltora84 - 11 years ago

I have a Shortfin betta fish. He is too lazy to make a bubble nest so he just make bubbles where ever he is and then he pushes the bubbles into a corner. Also I have started to notice a split in his tail that appeared after cleaning his bowl.

Corey Richard - 11 years ago

Also it's the entire length of my 20 gallon tank. And he isn't hiding anymore, he's swimming around freely, although he won't eat the pellets or flakes I got him.

Corey Richard - 11 years ago

So is it possible that my filter did this? I was gone to work and there was a nest when I got back. I saw him make one bubble earlier so I guess it's safe to assume he done it.

Brinna Daze - 12 years ago

So thats why my betta was makeing bubbles! He was makeing a bubble nest! ohhh... that makes sense.

Shianne Smith - 12 years ago

If you feed your fish and it doesn't eat that means it's uncomfortable maybe you need to change its tank water or you have it to cold or hot. My fish was doing the same. And he started eating when I was no where around him

VIG Ghlorq - 12 years ago

why my fish nest so urgly?

Lee Thao - 12 years ago

This is late. The best food to feed betta is live blood worms. Only feed 2-3 blood worms in the morning and later at night. If you cant find live blood worms then you can also feed betta freeze dried blood worms. But if you were to feed them pellets i find the only pellets they eat more is ATISON BETTA PRO PELLETS. 1/2 gallon is enough for a healthy betta also make sure your water temperature is 75-80 degree. Also use some almond leaves. They care sickness and make betta healthy.

DollyDisaster124 - 12 years ago

I saw a Male betta fish at a store and he hadnt been bought yet and at the top of his little container were Bubbled that werent popping does that mean he wants to breed? I just want to know Just in case I see more and will know whats going on

Outcast Of Darkness - 12 years ago

if your not breeding him then pop the bubbles thats what i did cuz he thinks he has eggs to care for i poped his bubles so he thinks they hatched

Around With The Hound - 12 years ago

How big is his tank? When we first got our betta he was much the same way. He was in a 1 gallon tank. Then we added a heater designed for small tanks and kept the water around 72-74 I believe, and he perked right up. Then we got him a 5 gallon tank w/heated water, and he loved that even more. In the end he was in a 12 gallon heated tank. He adored it and was very active. So I'd try getting a size appropriate heater if you don't already have one.

Katie Lavergne - 12 years ago

i think my fish is depressed. he wont eat and he just sits at the top of the water or at the bottom of the tank. i only got him a week ago so i know he might still be adjusting but im worried about him :( is there anything i can do to help him eat and so that he'll be happier?

TheHARO801 - 12 years ago

FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT DONT KNOW WHAT BUBBLES ARE FOR IT MEANS THAT THEIR HAPPY AND WANT TO MATE .

Tran_MD410 - 12 years ago

They are preparing to spawn with a female betta when they are making the nest but you have to introduce male a female in separate tanks until they are ready for each other and make make sure they get good nutrition and you release the female in the same tank when the bubble nest is big enough

Happyjakk - 12 years ago

How long will it take for the male to make the nest? Will he do it right away when he sees the female?

Around With The Hound - 12 years ago

Not if you only have a betta, but it's a good idea to have one anyway if you can.

Around With The Hound - 12 years ago

Probably not. They do that sometimes. I think it's just part of their breathing or something. But keep an eye out, you never know!

Chuck Norris - 12 years ago

my male crown tail is makeing them bubbles one at a time but the bubble will reach the surface and pop is he trying to make a bubble nest?

Jar Rad - 12 years ago

Buy a heater and a filter, if you don't have any of these... If you already have both of these, then you might need to consider buying an even bigger heater.

Jar Rad - 12 years ago

On top of llmbrooke83's reply, you also need a filter so that there's a constant flow of water.

Around With The Hound - 12 years ago

My understanding is the male betta will take the eggs and place them in the nest individually, then guard the nest until they hatch. I'm no expert, but that's what I read. :-) So sorry to hear about your fish dying. The fish in this video passed away a few months ago of dropsy. We have two new bettas now, a brother and sister. The female is in a 5 gallon tank, and the male is in a 12 gallon. They seem pretty happy - and we got them from a breeder. Pet stores are awful to their fish!

Caroline - 12 years ago

May I ask what does the Betta fish do with the nest? I used to have a betta named Hailo he died after about a month he had a nice big and clean tank but sadly I never was able to get another fish but the next year I got two gold fish named Gupie and Tubby you can notice what they look like by the names but the next week they died :-( I took great care of all my fish! Thats just sad though if you see the pet store they keep the Bettas in a terrible condition!

Around With The Hound - 12 years ago

Get a bigger tank (at least 5 gallon) and a size-appropriate heater. Provide plenty of places for your fish to swim through and hide. Search the internet for the best tank setup for bettas. Good luck!

shrek dog - 12 years ago

Feed fry baby brine shrimp, crushed flakes, and use a sponge filter! Jar the males because they will grow aggressive and attack the other fry. I'm 11 years old and am a expert at bettas.

shrek dog - 12 years ago

@mega23man Feed them brine shrimp for her to get plump with eggs and put her in a 5-10 gallon tnk in a vase, once the male builds a nest, release the female, watch them to make sure he doesnt attack or kill. The female will float up and the male will wrap himself around her and you should see little white dots come out, those are eggs. once he places them in the nest, REMOVE the female because the male can get aggressive and kill her. once the fry are free swimming remove the male and feed fry.

Around With The Hound - 12 years ago

@xjellycake Thank you! Filters are always good. There are a lot of types out there, and I'm honestly not sure what would be best for a 2.5g tank. You might want to research it a bit. Also, make sure you are monitoring the temp in the tank and keeping it somewhere around 79 F. It is super easy for a small tank to overheat and cook the fish to death. Good luck with your betta! :-)

Around With The Hound - 12 years ago

@414jenmi Congrats on getting your first betta! They are great little fish. However, I'm not sure your little guy will make a bubble nest in a half gallon tank. Bettas really need a minimum of a 2.5 gallon tank, though a 5 gallon or bigger is better. Once they're in a bigger tank with a heater, they swim more, make bubble nests, and are a lot happier. :-)

@ilovbettas I'm not set up to breed bettas, and honestly don't have the time and energy to devote to it. We live in a small apartment with one 5 gallon and one 12 gallon tank and no room for anything else. I do support reputable betta breeders, though. :-)

Around With The Hound - 13 years ago

@TaniandDodgie Welcome to the world of Bettas! Samson was in an Eclipse Hex 5 gallon in this video. That tank comes with its own filter. If you don't have a 5 gallon yet, I strongly suggest saving up for at least a 10 gallon. Samson is now in a 12 gallon Marineland Eclipse, which also comes with its own filter system. The bigger the tank, the less work to maintain it, plus you can add other fish, decorations, or some ghost shrimp! Meanwhile, try lowering the water level a bit to help w/current.

Aly Seki - 13 years ago

What kinda of filter do you have? I have a 2.5 gallon tank (We don't have so much money to get a 5 gallon tank yet :/... I'm also just a beginner at Bettas) I have a small Aqueon Quiet Flow filter but whenever I turn it on, my Betta has trouble swiming. Think you can help me?

@skayerboycesar He's in an Eclipse Hex 5 gallon tank. I don't know about the female thing, since we only have the one fish. Mostly I think males will flare at and attack females unless they're in the mood to breed.

Around With The Hound - 13 years ago

@skayerboycesar He just started making it. Male bettas do this when they're happy and wanting to mate. It's usually a sign that it's probably safe to introduce a female betta to the tank if you're wanting to breed them. :-)
