When you have both a male and female betta notice when he builds a bubble nest this means he is ready to mate and the female can be placed in a breeding tank with him. Keep in mind that the male and female betta fish should be about the same size. However in captivity the likelihood is you have already chosen a pair to mate so you need to ensure the conditions are optimal.
Never use a large female and a smaller male. And he would wipe his fins on her and if she swam away he would bite her. In the wild it is the female betta that selects the male betta based on their size color fin length and the quality of their bubble nest.
