,your betta is very cute,Alex
Your betta looks lovely I love his color Stupid question 
what's a bubble nest? 
I love his color Stupid question what's a bubble nest?
Not a stupid question at all, in fact I thought something was wrong with the tank when I saw the foam on the water's surface 
Here's a picture of another bubble nest (the one I used to compare to): http://www.shari.com/photos/fauna/005022.php
Some info I grabbed off the Net from http://watershed3.tripod.com/bettas.html:
"Bettas are bubble nest builders and nest guarders. The males build bubble nests at the surface of the water: these can be very large structures incorporating pieces of vegetation. Mating takes place below the nesting site. The male will display and chase the female to a spot below the nest. He eventually wraps himself around her in an embrace and she releases her eggs which he will take up in his mouth and transfer to the nest in a bubble. Males raise the fry in the bubble-nest for a few days. The nest is guarded vigorously and the bubbles are renewed as necessary. Eggs that fall are caught and returned to the nest. Hatching is in about 24 hours and the tiny fry swim free at about four days."
(So I guess Diablo is into wishful thinking...
one day, little man, one day?

Thank you
That was very interesting.I didn't know the males were the ones that raised the fry(honestly,I don't know anything 
)Well good luck with your beautiful betta and I hope you post pics when you decide to breed him
I think breeding would be waaaay down the road.. I've told him he's not dating till he's 21.
However if I do get him a girlfriend, I'll surely post pictures!!!
I guess that would be a long wait Hey congrats you're a full member
Wow, Diablo has some really stunning red to him! Haha, he's been busy on that nest, go Diablo go.
