its usually because its a new fish, but after a while they should go a bit closer to each other, but if he starts to follow her than hes hoping they can breed together but if she doesn't want to than he will kill her, and if she does, well baby beta fish for you!

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.

What is best fish to tank with betta?
Even though Betta's are seen housed in small tanks you should house your Betta in a minimum 2 gallon tank or a 5 gallon tank, while 10 gallon tanks are preferred. They do not like water movement so you do not have to have a filter, if you do it should have barely any movement, bettas are not built to swim against a current. Never house a betta in one of those set ups where there is a plant in the vase as they can not survive on that as food. Always keep your male Betta out of a tank that already has a male Betta as they will fight with another betta (to the death if unchecked) the male will chase the females if under age and try to fight them. However if a female Betta is fully grown, the male will chase her to mate. Make sure you have a few items in the tank, a fake plant or decoration where they can hide and have some privacy. Females can be grouped in groups of 4-8 depending on how many gallons of water you have to spare. Males can only shave a tank if they have a barrier of some sort or separators, which can be bought rather cheap and most any pet store.

Why isn't my male betta blowing a betta fish?
I assume that you intended to ask why your male betta isn't blowing a bubble nest. Male bettas blow bubble nests when they are happy and ready to mate. some build them easier than others, some wont even build one until they see the female or even until they are actually fertilizing the eggs. To encourage your betta to build a bubble nest, be sure he has enough room (at least 2.5 gallons) not a lot of surface motion on the water, make sure the water is at least 78*. You can also let your betta flare at his reflection by putting a mirror up against the glass. this is good exercise and may kick start his territorial instincts and encourage the building of a bubble nest.
