Today is exactly one week since Culligan was put into his 5 gallon tank. I've had him for almost two week total time.

I never though I'd see him build a bubble nest because I have read that many people's bettas build their nest after only a couple days in their new home. And his tank has a filter that creates a gentle current at the surface so I thought the bubbles wouldn't stick. Well, Culligan was smart and built it in a corner behind the intake pump that is undisturbed by any current. :)

The only thing I can think of that I did differently was that yesterday I fed him half a peeled, boiled pea.

Sorry the video is kinda bad quality. I just woke up and have final exams like in 2 hours so I shot and uploaded this video very quickly, haha.

  • When should he start making one mine hasn't yet there r two females wit him

  • @TexTK sometimes there not bubbles for bubble nest they will just release air so it will pop

  • My betta fish is trying to make a bubble next but it keeps popping :(

    he cant even get past 3 bubbles

    any ideas as to what the problem is?

  • I have an eclipse 6 that used to house a male betta (he passed on and I now have a female). He used to build bubble nests in the corner where a piece of bamboo nearly stopped the current. It was covering about 1/3 of the aquarium. =] He made them nearly every week.

  • Did your betta like the boiled pea??? And...I like the dramatic music :) HA!

  • Ha! Benjamin made his on the 3 day i got him and yesterday. They are cute!
