Betta breeding?

Question

ok, my male and female are in the same tank. I was told the cup way was not good cuz the female could drop the eggs in her cup. So I have released her into the tank. She has a lot of plant cover to hide in, the male has been chasing her for a while. She rests in the corner for a while and them be chased for a while. She was in the cup for an hour, then I released her and she has been in the spawning tank with the male for half an hour. Why will my male not start on his bubblenest, he has plants of things to use to make a bubblenest, but he is preoccupied with the female, when will he make his bubblenest??

Answer 1

he will make a bubblenest when he is ready for it

just keep a close watch on them, that he doesn't kill her in the meantime
