Before the mating period, the male betta will create a bubble nest, where the eggs will reside. Once the female is near, they will usually fight each other before finally mating. Once they finish, the male will take the eggs in his mouth and put them in the nest. If these are pet betta fish, then the female should be removed after an hour or two.

The female has shorter fins than the male and is generally less colorful. They should be labeled at the pet store. The females are usually less expensive, too.

Both male and female betta fish have the same average lifespan: about three to five years, depending on care. However, most female bettas you will buy in a pet shop are sold younger than the males. This is because breeders must wait for a male betta's fins to reach their adult length before sending them to be sold, as your average person doesn't want to buy a betta with short fins. The females finnage is less important, thus they can be shipped to a pet shop at a younger age. So although male and females both have the same lifespan, your female fish may be with you longer simply by virtue of her being younger when you bought her. Look for females that are significantly smaller than the males; these are young fish and will grow.
If they get along, the female will lay eggs and the male will take care of them until they hatch. If the female is left in the same tank afterward though, she may try to eat the eggs and the male will fight her.
