Bettas should be in breeding condition before you put them together. If you follow the rules below then keep reading I'll point you in the right direction. The basic rules for keeping fish successfully are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank need at least 50% of its water changed every week. Follow and keep to the above rules and your fish stand a chance of survival. Fail to keep them and I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting ill and maybe dying.
Bettas need to be kept at around 78F to 82F, fed at least twice every day and given a supplement of live food like Daphnia, Cyclops, Brineshrimp etc at least 2 or 3 times every week in order to get them into breeding condition. When the female is really chubby around the tummy and the male starts blowing bubbles (nest Building) you can assume they can be put together in a well etablished, 24"x12"x12" heated, filtered, planted, tank. Then keep an eye on them. Once spawning is over, the female must be taken out otherwise she will be killed.

Which petshops sell the female fighting fishes?
Most pet shops that stock tropical fish will be able to get you a female 'Betta splendens'. (that's its' correct name).

If you really want to call it a 'Fighting Fish' then use the name 'Siamese Fighting Fish'. Most folks will understand that.
