Because wild bettas tend to live in shallow waters with little oxygen, the bubbles provide oxygen-rich air for the eggs and hatchlings. They make the bubbles by gulping air at the surface and then blowing saliva bubbles. These are often placed underneath leaves or other floating debris for protection from predators at the surface, like insects that might eat the eggs. I was wondering what that means, what they are doing, and if something is wrong.
I have two beta fish. Male and female. I have a divider and the two are in the same tank. I have a crucial bubble next but I am afraid that if I let them together he will kill her but I want babies. What to do? Breeding betta fish can lead to injuries and fights. I would only do this if you have experience.
I hear too many stories where the male has seriously injured the female. My betta is making a bubble nest and taking the air out from the air and putting it in his bubble nest. His name is Basweiler I might have already sent this. Completely normal! I have 2 bettas 1 female and 1 male I put them both together and both flared their gills but did not make any threating moves. I seperated both of them and the male calm down in a few minutes but I had to take the female out and put her in another tank before she would calm down.
But Murphy just started making a nest. But how is it possible because they are in different tanks! My male betta fiah keeps making bubbles after I clean his tank. Also should I breed them in 1 gallon tank or should I get a bigger one and exactly how big. I waited till he recovers then I introduce a female betta beside his tank. He sees it and flares to the female and the female swums crazily upward and downwards. I got a male betta about a week ago and a day later he started building fa bubble nest, so I decided to go get him a female.
I put them together but separated through a transparent plastic. They started flaring at each other and the male started showing a lot more interest In building the bubble nest and the female had vertical stripes signs of eggs. But before I could clean the tank out, the nest was built around the edges about half an inch the next day. I was wondering if its okay to clean out the tank so it can be clean for breeding? Dear Betta parents, how do I know when the male is already coaxing the female?
Please help. Thank you. Well you should know when is coaxing her when you see him flaring his fins and chasing her around the tank. I bet he loves swimming around it! Get a few plants and it will be perfect for him. My male betta had a bubble nest but now all the eggs are in the bottom of the tank what can I do the help the eggs? Hi, I have read this article over and over again it is always saying how males make bubble nests when a female is present, or when theyre happy but I recently bought two betas and they both were supposed to be male, at first they were separated by bowls but now theyre only divided by a small glass.
And the other has made some bubbles as well, what does this mean??. Should I get a female?? I got my betta fish yesterday evening, and he has already made a bubble nest!!!!!!
Part of it has already started to pop though……. I just wanted to know if that was okay. Sure — completely fine Sadie. I got a betta one month a go it has developed a fat belly and it is kept with gold fishes should I keep it different from them? Ok, it sounds like you are feeding it too much! It will get very sick sounds like it already is. Please keep it seperate from your goldfish — more information here. They should not be eating the same food or have the same tank set up.
Hey there! I just got a female betta and I was wondering if it was a good idea to leave the two different tanks together or not? I want to breed the pair too. Hi, I got my betta about a week ago and he has eaten like a little piggy every day.
He just sat in a corner. When I got home he still had not eaten but he had blown a bubble nest. I am thinking about getting a betta and putting it with other fish should I take any precations, such as feeding and what if he makes a bubble nest should I be worried.
Please read our blog about betta fish living with other fish. Different fish food may be needed. No need to worry about bubble nests. Betta fish are territorial and like their own space so dont worry too much about that.
Feeding him daily is fine too! I have had my betta couple for a year now. January 13th?? I got my first Betta, he is a dark blueish color. I put him on a 10 gallon tank. But I was wondering if I could purchase other fish and put them with him? It just takes time and patients.
They say you should introduce the non aggressive fish to the tank first so they can find all the hiding spots and then use a breeder box to introduce your betta to them. Hope I helped! I bought 2 female bettas and I put one in a container beside the male I already had. I got my betta 2 weeks ago tomorrow and he seems very happy. I just got my beta fish three days ago it has already started a nest.
I know what it means I just want to know if I should buy a female for him to mate. But when I had a closer look I found all those little bubbles along the side. So this is a good thing, right? How likely is this to happen the day after you introduced him into his new home?
At first he was hiding out in one corner of the tank and I realized the filter was blowing him all over the place. I did the water bottle fix to the filter and he loves it now. And today he was playing with me over breakfast. I love this little guy. Thank you for all you posters out there. I find all the information on the internet so valuable when trying to learn. Very good article on Bubble nests. Well, this confirms it, my male Betta Fish is happy, healthy, loves the water condition and the live plants in his 10 gallon home… he is already blowing bubble nests, and its only been 5 days since I brought him home, and 4 days since I introduced him to his new home.
You just have to be careful. It is much better for your fish to have clean water than their bubble nest intact. You could try catching it all on a Tupperware lid and then placing it back in or just being extra careful.
My betts is making bubble nest and I am glad! Like dish soap bubble! Is it normal? Betta Fish Information. Page Contents What are the bubbles at the top of my betta fish tank?

Comments Chris March 28, BettaInfo March 28, Cythia October 12, Should I clear away these bubble nests or should I leave them? Marisa April 2, BettaInfo April 6, No nothing to worry about there!
Do you know how it disappeared? Bob July 27, Arianna June 3, No it justs means it is preparing to mate and have children with a female betta fish. BettaInfo April 17, Loads of information literally on this page — look no further!! Oxygen passes through the membrane and gets absorbed into the body. Male betta fish use the labyrinth to take in the air and blow out bubbles. Then, the use their saliva to make the coating that keeps the bubbles from popping when making these nests.
The saliva also strengthens the nests and keeps them from breaking apart. Some bettas will make these nests even if you are hovering right near the tank. If you get the chance to stand nearby and watch them make their nests, you can hear their nest-building activities.
Generally, the whole nest-building event is a busy and quite frantic one that makes for an interesting thing to watch. If you get the chance to stand nearby while they make their nests, you can hear their nest-building activities.
Aside from their fly disco suits, they use superior bubble nest-building skills. As with many different types of animals, males are responsible for the betta bubble nest construction. If there is a female betta nearby, sometimes she will come over to lend a hand… erm, fin. The male betta fish have been seen to start making their bubble nests if there is a sudden change in their environment. Things like sudden changes in their water temperature or if there is a quick rise or fall in barometric pressure.
The presence of a female in the aquarium will also cause him to work on his nest in overdrive, preparing for their eventual courtship and mating. Once the female is sufficiently impressed as to mate with him, the eggs are fertilized in the water column, picked up by the male, and spat directly into the nest.
Over the course of days the fertilized eggs develop and hatch into tiny baby Betta fish. The young fry are poor swimmers when newborn. Fortunately, the surface tension of the bubbles combined with the weeds and debris collected around the nest provides plenty of barriers to keep the newborn fish near the surface until they are ready to swim.
Male Bettas are excellent parents! Other fish in the Gourami family either create bubble nests like Bettas or are mouthbrooders, carrying their eggs and young within their mouths until they are ready to live on their own.
