It is not normal for a female Betta splendens to die after spawning. In the wild the female would swim away and leave the male to look after the nest and its contents. When bred in a small aquarium that is not possible so the female should be removed before the male kills her.
What else can I help you with?
Can you put female betta with male betta?

Can you keep a male betta with a female betta for a long period of time with other fish?

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.
Why do you need a breeding tank for the bettas?
after breeding the male betta might attack the female and the fry is in danger
How come when you got a female Betta and you put it in with a male Betta and the female Betta hid in a plant what does that mean?
The male will try to spawn with her. If she is not in breeding condition she needs to hide to stay alive.
Should you leave your girl betta with the male if shes pregnant?
The female betta doesn't get pregnant, she only fills up with eggs, not offspring. The female should be presented to the male in a clear chimney or breeding net in the male's tank until she shows breeding lines and the male shows interest and builds a bubble nest. The female should then be put in with the male and monitored until they show a wrapping behaviour. After this behaviour is complete, the female should be put back into her normal tank. The male will look after the now-fertilised eggs in his bubble nest until they grow big enough to be removed.
How many days can stay together the female and a male bettas?
If they are both in breeding condition a nest will be built and the female will usually be spawned out within a few hours. Following this, if she is not removed quickly she will be killed. If she is not in breeding condition and fails to show an interest in spawning she will be killed if she is not removed. A Male Betta will not suffer another Betta to be in its immediate vicinity. However they are peacfull with all other species and are often bullied in community tanks.
After breeding can you still keep a male and female betta in the same tank?
You can not keep Betta splendens males together without them trying to kill one another. You can only keep a male and female Betta s. together while they are courting and spawning. Afterwards he will kill her if she is not removed. You can keep male or female Bettas with most other species of fish with no problems.

Yes, females can be just as agressive, if not more aggressive, than the males. Although you should never keep the two bettas together, it has happened when breeding the fish.
