My bubbles.
Sometimes you may find patches of bubbles at the top of your fish bowl. My fish, Apollo, lives in this bowl and has his ways of communication. These bubbles mean he is claiming the tank as his territory (we have all heard how territorial betas can be). It is also a sign of wellness and reproductive health. These bubbles are considered nests made by males. The males lure females in while fending off other males and spawn. The eggs are captured in the bubbles and incubate the eggs/fry until the fish is ready to swim in hopes to find food.
There is also a golden mystery snail, Comet, in the tank that is really enjoying munching on the bubbles. I believe the relationship between Apollo and Comet is ES because they are not in direct contact and the resources can be used by anyone.
