RkyMtnHigh 0 #1 August 6, 2007 I got a Beta Fish about a week ago and have been really careful to not over-feed him, check the water temp, and change and condition his water, but today I noticed excess bubbles in the top of his bowl next to the new philodendrum plant that I added to his bowl. I was worried that I had a sick fish on my hands, but found this article: http://www.nippyfish.net/bubblenests.html Looks like the bubble nests are a sign that Mr. Fishie is happy, healthy, and horny! _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,387 #3 August 6, 2007 So why do you keep him in a martini glass? Looks like you're about to serve him as a dinner appetizer.

The bubble nests didn't begin until I added the philodandrum to the glass. According to what I've read, beta like to begin the mating process around the edge of leaves and such. Mr Fishie seems really happy with his new environment. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RkyMtnHigh 0 #16 August 6, 2007 I know these are blurry, but it is the martini glass with the plant. The last pic shows the bubble nests under the leaf of the plant symbolizing that he's in "mating mode". _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkfairy 0 #19 August 6, 2007 They jump. It is generally a smart idea with a cover, just a tip. They can be a little agressive too, especially the males, and especially if the space and hiding places are limited. I'd keep him alone. They're actually quite fragile. Fierce, but fragile.Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

They will immediately try to KILL each other! Heeeeeey....(idea BINGS in head) How about a Beta Fight club? Bring your Beta, winner gets the cash... oh, it's illegal?

A friend of mine and some of his buddies got drunk one night, thought it would be an awesome idea to put two male bettas together to watch them "duke it out." About two hours later, they got bored watching them do nothing, so they put the other one back in his original tank. Quite uneventful to say the least.
