The bubbles are a nest. Males regularly build them to show any other fish that may pass by (esp females), how awesome he is, as well as a place for eggs when spawning.
Fin rot is a disease that... well, rots the fins absent. Bettas have alot of surface area in fins, so this is a really inportant one to nip contained by the bud with fish meds if you notice it. Ich is also pretty adjectives and looks as if your fish has been sprinkled next to table salt- also treatable with meds available from your local fish store.
If he is a male, which it seem like it, those bubbles are the start to his bubble nest! Males blow bubble nests to show females, as well as their owner, that they are healthy, well, and ready to mate.
I assume he is in a tank, 3 gallons or larger, next to a heater, and a filter? If he is not, this residue could be waste just accumulate on the top of the water, due to still water.
Fin rot, pop-eye, dropsy, etc. All of these are diseases that occur to Betta fish, whether their water is not cared for. You should be checking the ammonia, pH, nitrites and nitrates every week, and giving him a 25% water adapt every week as well. As well, do not over-feed him, this is what causes dropsy. You should be feed your Betta 2-3 pellets every other day to make certain that he does not die from being bloated. Blood worms, brine shrimp, and meal worms, either frozen, freeze-dried, or live, should also be a portion of his diet. Good luck!
The bubbles resting on his water is just him creating an oxygen source for himself. It is completely normal, and nil to be worried about.
Fin Rot is when the fancy fns begin to disentigrate. You will be able to speak about when this is happeneing because the fins will begin to shrink.
the male betta's will make what is call a bubble nest... it is for when they breed.. so no worries there. as for diseases on fish the most common are ich and fin rot . ich is lil white spots on the body of the fish and can be treated with ich meds. fin rot is when the fins commence to fall off and whitter away and it can be treated next to fin rot meds.
Answers: Betta's build bubble nests and that is what yours has done. It means he is beaming.
Fin rot you can tell when you see it by the fins having white edges and they start to curl.

I have a betta fish too. I guess the bubbles on top are from the betta fish using the bathroom. That what my mom says anyways. I think it flaots to the top and sinks to the bootom. That's why we clean our bowl every week to two weeks.
The little bubbles on top of the water are his bubble nest. It means he is jovial and most likely well cared for. Here is a network site about their care and some of the diseases that bettas can be prone too and how to prevent and treat them.
