Bettas make bubble nests. They blob bubbles on the surface of the water to lay eggs in. It is a sign that your betta thinks his home is a good and healthy place and thinks that it would be a good place to raise a family.

You fishy has made a nest for mating. Means he is happy and content.

Is it a male? If it is, the betta is creating the bubbles. (I don't think a female does this, but I may be wrong). You will notice that he goes to the top, takes a mouthfull of air, and releases it below the surface.

The betta can aerate his own water, that's why they thrive in swampy conditions. The bubbles are actually "nest" building.

The female lays its eggs on the underside of the bubble "nest" and the male will fertilize the eggs. After that, the male will kill the female and tend to the nest and care for the young.

FYI, I usually change the water in my betta bowl once a week just to keep it fresh, even though for the most part it is still clean. I use tap water and let it stand for 24 hours. However, a lot of people also use water treatment (de-chlorination) so that they don't have to let it stand.
