No, after spawning the male cares for the eggs and fry for the first few days after hatch.
The male chases the female away after spawning is finished and she has no further input on the raising process.
A male will often kill a female who's not removed from the spawning tank soon after the process is over as he becomes very protective and considers all other fish including the mother as an invader.

How do betta fish breath?
Betta fish breathe air....yes... that's right... they breathe air. They breathe air because they have an organ by their gills that is called the Labyrinth's Organ which allows them to breathe air. They breathe air by coming up to the surface of the water. Then they gather air in their mouths and hold their breath underwater.
How big does a female betta get?
The experienced aquarists' basic rule for keeping any kind of fish (Including Anabantids) is "1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water". A fully grown female Betta splendens will be around 2 inches long. Ergo she will need a tank that will hold at least 2 gallons of water. Assuming that the tank will only be filled to within 1 inch of the top and will also have at least 1 inch of substrata (gravel), you will need a tank that has a nominal holding capacity of almost 3 gallons. Some people would advocate a smaller tank but IMO they are ill-informed and do not have the welfare of the fish foremost in their mind.
What color is king Betta fish most attractive to?
King Betta can relate to Crown tail Betta types with double double ray finnage or may mean a Giant Betta, these are both just breeder names in the hobby but aren't recognised professionally as true name types using the 'KING' variation. Regardless of which type you mean, the majority of Bettas are individuals and will spawn with which ever female Bettas that hold their interest at the time. They don't necessarily always like females with matching colouring and their preferences do come down to the Betta's personal choice. Some will be more attracted to similar coloured females, some prefer opposing colours while others will happily spawn with which ever female they come in contact with. Giant Betta males and females are quite sluggish on the breeding side of things and most breeders find it easier to spawn half giants or a Giant male to a normal female.

Can a betta be kept with a Cory catfish?
No! Betta males are peacefull fish and mix well with most other species. They will only fight with other Betta males. never mix a male betta with any other type of fish if you want to keep them alive..male bettas a solitary fish and most likely will kill anything in there with it..i know believe me...i heard that you can mix male bettas with ghost shrimp,neon tetras,and Cory cats..my betta has killed all of the above..i put some neon tetras and Cory cats with him and within 5 seconds the betta was killing a Cory cat the above is incorrect. but the first one is right. What you have to do is when you get your betta, but him in a ziplock, half air half water; and but the ziplock in the aquarium. I left mine in their for a week ( yes, i fed him ) until he calmed down and realized the other fish weren't a threat or other bettas. Then open the bag and let him swim out. Yes, he may nip when a Cory cat comes near him or chase a fancy guppie or tetra, but he will calm down after about a day. If he dosent return him or put him back in the ziplock. Also don't put the fish in the betta's cage, but the betta in the fish'es cage using the ziplock method. The betta will be more aggressive if fish invade his territory, but if he is in new territory he will be less aggressive.
Betta fish will it chage what is does if you hold a mirror in front of it?
Betta fish behavior does change when it sees its own reflection in the mirror. The fish belives the reflection is another male betta and will flare its gill covers, spread its fins, and even attempt to nip at the other fish.Male bettas are very territorial and fight each other in home aquariums as well as in the wild. In the wild, the bettas live in murky and often densely vegetated ponds and streams that have low visibility. This low visibility allows bettas to not see each other and therfore avoid fighting.A betta's reflection in the mirror is percieved as an immediate threat and triggers the territorial behavior mentioned above.
How do you cheer up a Siamese fighting fish?
A great way to add some excitement to the life of a fighting fish (Betta) is to take a small mirror and hold it up to the bowl or tank, and let the fish see it. It will immediately perk up, and put its fins up. Try not to keep the mirror there for more than 5 minutes, as it may stress out the fish. Another thing to help keep them happy is to do regular water changes. Betta usually perk up when you change their water. Finally, feeding a varied diet including frozen and dry foods will go a long way to keeping your fish content.
