I have had the fish for about two weeks, and she shows no signs of illness or anything wrong, but I noticed some bubbles floating on the surface of the tank and wondered if they were harmful. They are perfectly round and small and seem to collect in a group along one edge of the fishbowl. Is there something I am doing wrong, or is this normal. Thanks!

Sure it's a female? Males do that, it's a bubble nest. Not sure if the females do it as well, mine don't, but I seem to recall reading about that somewhere. Here's a good betta forum, can ask them there, sounds like a nest though IMO.

It just means your fish is ready to nest.
Both males and females will build bubbles:
Males build it to impress females and if they're ready to nest.
Females build nests if they're happy.
That's called a bubblenest! Sometimes females make them, but it's mostly a male thing. It's nothing to be concerned about. The fish sucks air from the surface, and then covers the air bubble with syliva, then keeps blowing them until it forms a bubblenest. The bettas make these to keep eggs in for breeding or when they're in the wild.
this is called a bubblenest and both male and female will build them thou most the time it's the male to build them. to sex your fish thie male has fins that are a 1/2 inch or longer. and the females fins are only about an 1/8 to 1/4 inch long.
It is because they are building a nest and looking for a female
