Why did your betta fish stop blowing bubbles?

Answer 1

The male won't make a female a nest because he doesn't know her. That's not true. A male won't build a bubble nest until: The female is introduced into the tank by a glass chimney and the male is released inside the tank. Seeing the female, the male will swim towards her, flaring. He will try to break into the chimney, though he is unable to reach the grand prize (yet!). It is normal for the female to be frightened at first, but once your female has vertical lines appearing on her body, then you are in good shape, if she doesn't, she might change her mind later! LOL! The male will then look possessed, as if in a trance. He will then begin building the bubble nest. This would be a good time to release the female (after the nest is done or well into its way). This is when the female realizes she could get her little fishie but kicked! It's usually the male who beats the crap out of the female. If your male didn't build a bubble nest, it means the female doesn't want to spawn, or because she's not ready ( I mean she doesn't have eggs in her fishie body)! Hope this helps! Bye now, and good luck!

Answer 2

He is practising nest building just in case a female comes by. It is a sign that your Betta is now mature enough to breed. It can also mean your fish is very happy.(I don't have another betta but mine blew a bubble nest)

Answer 3

You will know when it is a bubble nest when the male makes a ton of bubbles at the surface. The male will go to the surface ant take a gulp of air,mix it with some saliva in his mouth that makes the bubble strong then blows the bubble. He will do this over and over until there are like 400 bubbles. It means he is really happy or he wants a mate. (a female)

Answer 4

Because he can, and he wants to be ready in case an amenable female does come swimming by.

Answer 5

Because it may be a female or it is not ready to mate because it to young in age.

This is the right answer.
