Betta Fish Blowing Bubbles At Me

Generally bettas do love to play in bubbles.

Betta fish blowing bubbles at me. There are little bubbles lining the sides of his tank all around. This behavior is primarily seen in male bettas and all males will blow a bubble nest at some point in their life though some females will do this as well. My male betta started staying close to the top of the water with his mouth very close to the surface getting air every once in a while and sometimes blowing bubbles.

I ve heard that it means your betta is happy is this true none of the previous betta fish i ve owned have done it before so this is the first time i m seeing this he scared me too i almost thought he was dead until he started swimming around again he was floating at the corner of the tank. Daily weekly or monthly are all common time frames for male bettas to construct a nest. Some bettas may build one on a regular basis while others might be more infrequent or not at all.

The purpose of a male betta fish bubble nests is to invite the female fish to a spawning session. I thought he was making a bubble nest but he doesn t seem to be very energetic and isn t focusing on a nest. I know that bettas make bubble nests and i ve seen him do it before this is different.

The male betta fish uses saliva to create bubbles on the water surface and under floating debris. Every time he sticks his mouth above the water to get air he blows a bubble. Using a good de chlorinator each and every time.

On rare occasions female betta fish can blow bubbles in the tank when they are alone with no mate in the tank. I just did a 50. The bubble blowing could well be making a bubble nest or trying to breath air from the surface as the water is toxic to him.

If you find your female betta fish. Especially smaller ones like from bubble wands. Betta fish diseases and emergencies.
