I Love It Best When The Rescues Build Bubble Nests

[Jaded12]

It makes me feel all warm inside. It's the conformation needed to show that they're happy and all of my efforts for them were completely worth while!! Heres Sultans first nest, hes the boy with the huge chunk missing from behind his anal fin.

i just rescued a male betta from walmart about two weeks ago he had a fungus patch on his head and missing scales lik he had gotten in with another male betta and i saw a bubble nest being built when i got back from my trip last night. i was glad to see he was feeling better

Awww.. that's so great!
None of my boys seem to want to make me a bubble nest
I think I caught my girl making a tiny one though I saw her almost vertical with her head pointed up towards a small group of bubbles and it looked like she was adding to it.
She must've been showing Raj how to make his own rofl....

also.... its not always a conformation that your betta is doing well when he builds betta nests. sick bettas will sometimes build them too.

I have yet to see a sick or unhappy betta build a bubblenest, and with all of the rescues I take in, I've seem plenty of sick and unhappy bettas

are u going to get a female to fertilize it

Ummm... The females lay the eggs the males fertilize them. bubblenests aren't just for breeding, males will build them when they're happy and comfortable in their surroundings.

That is so sweet, congratulations to you and Sultan! Where did you rescue him from?
It's a beautiful bubble nest, btw.

My boy Caine actually made me a bubble nest!!! YAAAY.
Bf looked at me like I was crazy b/c I actually did exclaim "Yay!" when I saw it lol.
No pics... I'll get some tomorrow if it's still there
I'm so happy though!
Now if my boy Raj would make one for me

EDIT: As I'm typing this edit.... Caine is working on his bubblenest making it bigger!

Up for air, blow out some bubbles, up for air, blow out some bubbles....
YAAAY That's my pretty lil guy!
