First you will need a mature male and female that have been fed and housed very well to bring them into breeding condition. The tank size should be at least 18"x10"x10". The water should be heated to around 78F to 80F., have a pH of around pH6.8 and be medium soft. A permanently running fully cycled filter is essential. The tank should contain at least some floating plants and be covered. The pair are introduced to the tank. The male should show off and then start building his bubble nest. Eventually he will get the female under the nest where he will embrace her and she will release a few ova (eggs) which he will fertilise in the embrace. They will drift apart and he will then pick up the ova and blow them into the nest. This procedure will continue until the female is spawned out. He will then chase her away and will kill her if she is not removed. He will then look after the eggs as they develop and turn into tiny fry. Once the fry are free swimming he is likely to eat them so he should then be removed.

Well, if you love your Betta fish, then it should live by itself.
