What is the water temp? I think it should be gradually increased to between 80F - 82F. And do you have something in the tank for him to create his bubblenest in? Phishphreek recommends using a small Styrofoam cup cut in half and taped to the inside of the tank. I've used this method successfully. The male betta will create his nest in that.Our Fishhouse

The Temp is at 79-80 I belive. I'll increase it a little.
And yes I have half a cup taped to the side. Making a tunnel looking thing. The problem is that his bubbles keep popping. And he can't seem to make a big nest. The female is in a small container in the tank too.

Perfect. That's strange that they keep popping. There's no movement on the water surface, right? The nest won't have to be too big. He should know when it's a good nest. Is he going up to her and flaring and stuff yet?Our Fishhouse

Well, I'm not sure how big his nest is, but I can say that my male built a really small nest compared to the photos of the nests built by other betta's that I saw online.
I'd let them at each other and see how it goes...sometimes they know better than us that it's time.Our Fishhouse
