A bubble nest has formed

[bounty]

I've been dealing with a lot of depression and stress lately, especially with nursing school coming to a close. But I've been really grateful for discovering betta keeping and learning from all of you on this forum - it's been a lifesaver. I had a tough day today, but coming home to see that my new betta, Saturn, had built a bubble nest was just what I needed. I know it's not always a sign of happiness, but I'm choosing to believe he's doing well. He's still settling into his 10-gallon tank, and I've only had him for a few days, but it's already been amazing to watch him explore. He loves napping in his wisteria and hiding in his cave when he needs some alone time. This weekend, my new plants from Modern Aquarium and Aquarium Factory are arriving, so I'm excited to see how he'll enjoy all the extra greenery.

That's fantastic news about Saturn's bubble nest. I completely get how pets can be a huge stress reliever - I've definitely found that with my own fish too.

I'm really grateful for this little hobby of mine - betta keeping has been a lifesaver lately, especially with nursing school weighing me down. I came home from a tough day and was thrilled to see my little guy Saturn had created a bubble nest - I know it's not always a sign of happiness, but I'm choosing to believe he's doing okay. He's got his own 10-gallon tank and has already found his favorite spots - napping in the wisteria and hiding in his cave when he needs some alone time. This weekend, I'm getting some new plants from Modern Aquarium and Aquarium Factory, so he'll have even more to explore. Just wanted to share the good news.

Your setup is looking great, bounty. I'm glad to hear that your betta, Saturn, is already making himself at home. Creating a bubble nest so soon is a good sign. I'm sure he'll love all the new plants you'll be adding this weekend.
