Congrats You may already have eggs or they will be in the nest soon. Do watch the males behaviour closely though. I had one attack anything it saw when my HG’s bred.

Isn't it amazing how fishes can take a few common bubbles and turn them into a nest ?

The male coats every bubble with saliva, to give them durability. The whole thing is amazing to see. Much better live than in a photo.

This vid is fascinating:

A stunning look at how betta fish live, breed and raise their young. Watch the male betta build a bubble nest, and mate with a female betta. Learn why they blow bubbles, and see the female betta lay the eggs in the breeding tank. Watch the male gather the eggs and bring them up to the bubble nest. Watch the male take care of the eggs, and the baby bettas. Learn why they can survive in a tiny bowl of water, and what size fish tank they really need.
