Do you have to take the female out when the male Betta fish doesn't make the bubble nest?

The male Betta splendens always builds a bubble nest and entices the female under it in order to get her to spawn. If the nest is not to her liking she will not spawn with him. So I guess the answer is no. There must be a bubble nest for them to spawn under and for the male to tend the eggs in.

Separate them, and feed both of them a high-protein diet with lots of live food for two weeks. Then the best way to introduce the female to the male is to put her in a clear plastic trap (such as a livebearer brooder trap) inside the male's tank so he can see her but not get to her. If both fish are in breeding condition, this usually causes him to build a bubblenest, and you can release the female when it is complete. If he still doesn't build a nest, it's possible that he's too old to be interested in breeding anymore, as most pet store bettas are already a year old when sold.

Your betta doesnt make bubble nest?
Your betta will only make a bubble nest if there is a female present in the tank typically by placing her in a breeder tank available at most local fish stores. Also I would suggest to have some floating plants, and some sort of plants so that the bubble nest can be anchored.

If your betta fish keeps making bubble nests does that mean you should get a mate for him?
The betta fish is making a bubble nest because he is happy it doesnt necessarily mean he wants to mate or have a friend. Do NOT mate him with a female if you are un-prepared to father the fry. The male will raise the fry to a point, but after that you're daddy.. You need to be fully prepared with proper food, water conditions, lighting, etc. It's a hard job. He doesnt need another fish in the tank with him, but if you want other fish with him do some hard core research first. Bettas are pron to getting their fins damaged by other fish. == ==
