	New Betta: Bubblenests?
rubber_ducky_2904 Hobbyist Posts: 68 Kudos: 102 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jun-2004	I got a new male betta yesterday and he's swimming around and eating but not building a bubblenest. I know he needs a lot more time to adjust but when should I expect to see a bubblenest? Thanks!

No, it's just all my other bettas have made HUGE bubblenests (about 4 inches square or more) within the first two days. I guess I've just come to have an overly high expectation of the little guys.
