If the male is not interested in the female betta, (which is usually the case when bettas are to old, too young, or the female is not ready to have kids) the male will attack it.
If the male is interested, then the male will make a bubble nest in order to keep the eggs safe. Then, the male will chase the female violently. This is called a courtship. The male will then fertilize the female's eggs and place them in the bubble nest. He will then chase the female away. He will either eat the eggs or guard them. If he guards them, eggs will continue to fall off the nest, so the male will pick them up with his mouth and put them back until the eggs hatch.

What does it mean when a male betta fish blows bubbles and shows his gills?
White, blue, the color doesn't matter. When a male betta makes a bubble nest, it means he is happy, in good conditions, and is ready to mate. I wouldn't recommend trying to make them mate unless you are very experienced, as male bettas will be very aggressive even to females. At least one of them will end up dying most of the time. If you really want to mate your bettas then please look online for a guide, but I'd recommend you don't as it is very hard.

Can a crowntail female betta mate with a halfmoon male betta fish?
Yes, crowntail females can mate with halfmoon males, and vice versa. Any type of betta can mate with any another type. Veiltails with halfmoons, deltas with crowntails, etc. But most people prefer to breed bettas with their own type because they plan to sell them, and most people don't want "mutts". They can also keep the coloration, finnage, and physical characeteristics of the betta type. It is much easier to sell these purebred bettas. If you planning on breeding the crowntail and halfmoon and selling, I highly suggest that you reconsider this. Get a two quality bettas (same type) from a good breeder. Enjoy your fish!
