Well do you know that a female betta and a male look totally different???? The males are the ones that sit in little cups at room temp. The females have to be in a bigger container (aquarium) and at the temperature at around 80 degrees. So well i have attempted to breed mine but it takes patiences. The male and the female may fight some but they might not. You never know. Well i will attach a link to where you can go to a very helpful web page about breeding bettas.http://www.bettatalk.com/breeding_bettas.htm Go there and it tells you everything you need and what to expect. Hope this helps.
