Can you put two female bades with one male in one tank?
I am assuming you mean Bettas. A male Betta needs to be kept away from all other Bettas. They can not be kept together. The male would kill at least one of the females. Then he would either breed with the living female and then kill her if she is not removed or he will try to spawn her and if she is not ready he will kill her anyway. This is how the Bettas evolved. Although they will mix with most other species OK male Bettas will not tolerate another Betta in their tank.
Are male betas scared of mirriors?
They are not scared. They attack the reflection in the mirror. Male betas are aggressive toward other male betas, so when they see there reflection, they flare up and try to attack the "other fish."
Your male betta doesnt flare at other bettas he just ignores them is he just friendly or what?
This is indeed unusual of a male betta. Try changing its water and a little bit of aquarium salt, also try improving the fishes diet.

How do you pick a healthy betta fish to buy?
there is not really a "best" betta to have i do not recommended dumbo bettas also known as elephant ear bettas because it it hard for these fish to swim and is not a good life for them never under any circumstances keep males together some males will get along with females if you decide to keep males and females try to get a young male he will get used t them i will probably not fight if they do put the male in a jar put a hole in the lid for air and put him back in the tank of females a few days later. females don't fight. i have breed bettas so i know a good bit about them:)
