My male betta seems to be making bubble nests under frogbit. Should I get him a female? This is my first betta. He is in a 6-gallon cube.

🙋‍♀️ Inspired by Diana Walstad, I have a 1-gallon globe with 1 inch organic soil, sand, crypts, dwarf sag, frogbit and three cherry shrimp. Three marimo balls. One of the shrimp is kicking her belly constantly because it’s full of eggs. There are way too many pond snails but everyone looks happy. It sits in a south east window getting natural light. I then set up a similar dirt, sand, 6-gallon cube tank with plants, driftwood. Floating plants are frogbit. I have a lamp over it. No direct sunlight. After a few months I changed water a few times and added plants and snails. I had brown water, stinky water, green water, cloudy water. All the plants melted and died. After the floating plants did their work the water was good I added more plants and watched the snails to see if they were happy or trying to crawl out. When they were moving all over the glass and not trying to stay in any one place I added more plants. Tthe plants loved the mulm so I left it there . It is not a shiny spotless tank I recently added 9 ember tetra, 10 cherry shrimp, and 4 Pygmy Cory (2 died). I still do not have a sponge filter. it is great to be here with fish lovers and scientists. renita renitawellman.com
