The male Betta builds a nest and takes the female under it. Then he embraces her and squeezes the eggs out and fertilises them. As the eggs sink down towards the floor of the tank he picks them up in his mouth and blows them into his nest. Once the female has no more eggs left she should be removed because the male fish will kill her if you don't. He will then look after the eggs and babies until they become free swimming if he is not removed at this time he will eat the babies.
