The bubbles protect the eggs the female lays.
A male beta fish blows a lot of bubbles. so if there are a ton of bubbles at the top of the bowl or tank, your fish is most likely a boy.
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.
For a female Betta to release eggs she needs to be squeezed by a male. As she releases her eggs the male fertilises them and then blows them into the nest of bubbles he has built. He then guards the eggs and looks after them until they develop into free swimming fry. Your account/story does not make much sense to me.
The male Betta does this because he can. He doesn't know if or when a female will come by, so to be on the safe side he keeps himself ready to impress a female if she does turn up.
This depends on what you mean by backflips. If it's just a way of swimming, but otherwise your betta swims upright and normal most of the time, then it's just being a fish.If your betta is stuck upside-down, it could be related to water quality or a swim bladder issue.
yes. He blows little bubbles that go pop.
She releases some ova (eggs) and he releases milt (sperm) and the ova are fertilised. They then fall towards the bottom of the tank. The male collects these ova in his mouth and blows them into the nest. The whole procedure will continue until the female is out of ova and swims away and hides. This is the time to remove her and let the male do the rearing.
I can assure you the Betta does not think of you as a mate. They are not stupid and do know a female of their own species. Your Betta has simply reached sexual maturity and is building his display home in the hope that if a lady Betta comes along he can convince her to make fertile eggs with him under it.
The male builds a nest of bubbles, usually in a corner of the tank. Once the female is happy with the nest and is prepared to mate, he will encourage her to go with him under the nest. There he wraps himself around the female in an embrace, and ova are released and fertilised during this embrace. The couple then separate and the male follows the fertilised ova and picks them up in his mouth and blows them up into the nest of bubbles. This process continues until the female has been spawned out. He will then chase her away and she must now be removed otherwise he will kill her. He then tends the nest full of ova and wrigglers until the fry become free swimming when he or they must be removed from the tank otherwise he will eat the free swimming fry.

Yes, when a hot tub blows out bubbles, it is a result of mechanical energy being used to create the agitation in the water that produces the bubbles. The mechanical energy is typically generated by a pump or blower within the hot tub system.
The male Betta builds a nest and takes the female under it. Then he embraces her and squeezes the eggs out and fertilises them. As the eggs sink down towards the floor of the tank he picks them up in his mouth and blows them into his nest. Once the female has no more eggs left she should be removed because the male fish will kill her if you don't. He will then look after the eggs and babies until they become free swimming if he is not removed at this time he will eat the babies.
