Does the female betta fish hold the babys?
No, after spawning the male cares for the eggs and fry for the first few days after hatch. The male chases the female away after spawning is finished and she has no further input on the raising process. A male will often kill a female who's not removed from the spawning tank soon after the process is over as he becomes very protective and considers all other fish including the mother as an invader.

When referring to betta fish what is a spawning?
A "Spawning" is when fish mingle their ova (eggs) and milt (sperm) in order to fertilize them and produce young. This can be done in any number of different ways. In the case of Betta splendens the male builds a nest of bubbles and entices the female under it. He wraps himself around the female and she then releases some ova and he releases some milt. The fertilised ova are then placed in the nest by the male. This contiues until the female has no more ova left. When that happens the "spawning is finished and the female must be removed.
When to separate the male and female after mating?

Do you remove the male betta after spawning?
Well, if there are any other fish in the aquarium except for the female there is still no chance that the female wont eat some of them. You could separate the male if you wanted but it is good for the baby fish to have a male to protect them, although it still might eat them. It is good if you have a large plant for the baby fish to hide in when the eggs hatch.
