Why do betta fish blow bubbles?

Answer 1

The bubbles are a bubble nest. Male bettas are the ones that take care of the kids in betta society. They blow the nest and that usually means he's happy or ready to reproduce. They also sometimes blow them when the composition of their water changes or their is a barometric change in air pressure. It doesn't always mean they are ready to be parents, though and sometimes perfectly healthy males won't blow them.

This is completely normal, do not worry. They usually do this whilst mating or, when they are extremely happy! You are obviously taking very good care of your betta fish, and as a fellow owner, I congratulate you!

Beta fish make bubbles because they are making a nest, usually they lay their eggs in bubble nests, but sometimes they just make it randomly. I only have a male right now and he sometimes makes bubbles randomly.

Answer 4

Bettas are labyrinth fish, which means they gulp air from the surface to breathe. When a betta wants to build a nest, they start gulping air and then spitting it back out coated in saliva from a gland in their mouths to make it stronger and stick to other bubbles. They often attach the first few bubbles to the edge of the tank or two a floating object that stabilizes the water surface for them.
