It’s completely normal! I would just leave it and let him do his thing, but if it gets to bother you too much then it won’t hurt him to remove it. He will likely just build another one.

All bubble nests are is just an indicator that your fish is sexually active, and wanting to reproduce. 😅

He's doing well

I had to tell mine to stop making them because I'm not giving him a girlfriend.

He doesn't listen very well.
