No, she will eat them. The male should be removed as soon as the fry become free swimming - that's about two days after they hatch or four days after they are laid. Once you take out the male, start feeding the fry on vinegar eels and microworms. Any adult betta put in a tank with betta fry (even their own) will eat the fry.
