So I just got my very own betta fish from Petco last Friday.
He's turquoise with red fins, and he's the sweetest little fish. I named him Bubbles. My little sister also got a betta. A small turquoise female, that she named Miss Inquisitive because it was so curious when it saw its new surroundings. (Hey, she's only 7!)
I noticed that Bubbles was making a lot of bubbles on the top of his bowl. I found out that it was called a bubble nest. On this one website it said that bettas make bubbles when they are happy. But in my Betta book by Robert Goldstein, it says that males make nests when they are next to females in a different bowl. Miss Inquisitive is making horizontal lines of bubbles. The book says that means that she isn't ready to mate. Should I seperate the bowls? Who should i believe?
Robert Goldstein has a Ph.D! This isn't like a life threatening decision for my betta, I'm just curious. I just want to take good care of Bubbles!
