Why does your male betta fish chase your female betta fish after she has had babies?

The male will protect, tend, and clean the eggs after they have been laid. It's best to remove the female right after mating and the male after the babies are free swimming (3 or so days). The female will die if she is left in there and you could risk loosing your babies. Also after the baby's have hatched remove them from harm of the female or male. They will both tend to eat the fry's, or baby's.

If betta fish attack each other then how do they have babies?
Betta fish are very territorial, but during mating season they make a bubble nest to mate, when they male and female are the right ones to mate they will start to dance, after that they mate for about 30 minutes-8 hours. Finally when they are done the male will chase the female off and he will guard his nest until all the eggs have hatched.
Can you put a female and male Betta fish in the same tank or bowl or will they fight to death?
It's best to only put male and female betta fish in the same tank/bowl if you are breeding them. If they are not breeding and they still stay in the same area, the male would most likely attack the female, so keep the female away! Also, if you are breeding betta fish, make sure to remove the female betta after she lays her eggs, as the male will care for them and chase the female away.
