Betta Doesn T Bubble Nest

Maybe the male isn t quite up to date with his duty as a father.

Betta doesn t bubble nest. Nearly all male betta fishes will blow a bubble nest from time to time. Sadly though if you can t get either to build you wont have fry i dont have much experiance gave up on breeding bettas temporarily as i warm up to. There may be no other reason for building the nest.

For the breeding process the betta fish usually form a bubble nest. By the way a betta will make nests even if it s not happy but thinks it can reproduce. Don t worry too much if your fish doesn t build bubble nests it doesn t have to mean that it is unhappy or unhealthy.

Even though he s not healthy and happy he will make a bubble nest because he wants to biologically reproduce. Sometimes a betta fish will build bubble nests weekly or monthly or daily and sometimes these nests will be nothing but a few bubbles whereas other times they may be up to an inch thick and span a full corner. But the bubble nest building comes impulsively to the male betta fish even without the attendance of a female.

There are quite a few ways you can help contribute to the creation of bubble nests through environmental factors if you really want to assure yourself of his. Typically in nature the male betta fish would look for some floating debris on the water s surface to start collecting and clustering the bubbles. My male cosmo has made bubble nests in the past however now that im trying to introduce the female he wont make one.

For example you have him in a cup of cold water and he sees a female. As with many different types of animals males are responsible for the betta bubble nest construction. So just because he makes a nest doesn t mean he s high on life.

Why wont my male bettas make bubble nests i ve been trying to breed my bettas during this fall to see what its like. Of course while the lack of a bubble nest doesn t particularly mean your male betta fish isn t content having one that builds bubble nests does attest to his happiness and health. Actually i have bettas that seem to be sexually confused bubbles the male has 0 interest in building a nest but dream the female won t stop making them.
