If the male is not interested in the female betta, (which is usually the case when bettas are to old, too young, or the female is not ready to have kids) the male will attack it.
If the male is interested, then the male will make a bubble nest in order to keep the eggs safe. Then, the male will chase the female violently. This is called a courtship. The male will then fertilize the female's eggs and place them in the bubble nest. He will then chase the female away. He will either eat the eggs or guard them. If he guards them, eggs will continue to fall off the nest, so the male will pick them up with his mouth and put them back until the eggs hatch.

∙ 13y agoPut your male betta in a tank alone...leave him for a few hours to get comfy and then put your female in a glass jar (with water of course) and lower it into the tank with the male. Watch both of their reactions - the male should swim close in to the jar and "flare" it's gills out, almost like it wants to fight. The female should start to display 2 vertical bars along the middle of her body. These are good signs that they are ready to breed, but watch carefully when you put them in together anyway. the male will make a bubble nest

What does it mean when a male betta fish blows bubbles and shows his gills?
White, blue, the color doesn't matter. When a male betta makes a bubble nest, it means he is happy, in good conditions, and is ready to mate. I wouldn't recommend trying to make them mate unless you are very experienced, as male bettas will be very aggressive even to females. At least one of them will end up dying most of the time. If you really want to mate your bettas then please look online for a guide, but I'd recommend you don't as it is very hard.
