Betta breeding with other fish?

Question
Hello! How are you? I have a question. I have three male betas, all of which are very healthy. I am currently keeping one small feeder fish with one of them. So I come back from the store and I see what looks like a small bubble nest at the  top of the beta/feeder tank. It also looks as if the beta is trying to catch and mate with the smaller fish. Is this unusual behavior and is it even possible to breed them?

                      Thank you for your time,
                              Justin S.

Answer
Hello justin,

I am doing fine. Well you cant breed those to fish but it sounds like the egg sack type thing is actualy snail eggs and it should be removed asap. And the behavior between the feeder fish and the beta is alright.

Thanks,
