Wow, we've had our betta two weeks and he build a huge bubble nest! Our other betta never built one in the several months he was with us.

I wonder if the blackwater extract I've been adding to the tank is working that well. I was just really surprised to see it.....

Warm weather seems to trigger bubble nesting....My house is a giant bubble bath right now with our 90 degree weather!

Yeah, in the summer my bettas really go at it too.
lol

This my be a dumb question, but....
How do they know the season, or temp outside of their tank, if they are in a heated tank, that stays the same temp? I'm so intrigued by these little wonders, I know a betta is in my future

Yesterday it was in the low 20s (F) at our house

The tank will warm up if it's something like 90*F outside. The heaters usually will turn-off by themselves to prevent over heating. So the tank water will slightly increase.

Too cute, fishhead, so glad he's a happy boy!

We're kind of a bad (or good lol) influence when it comes to Bettas. lol
Yep, I see one in your future too.

congrats! it's always a good feeling seeing your betta build his (or her in a few cases with mine, lol) first bubble nest!

I even got a picture of it (and him), it's in the gallery. I'm lousy at taking fish pictures so it's doubly amazing it's actually in focus.

Lucy

He's gorgeous and looks so proud of his nest!
