spawning dance?

what does it look like? if more then one female is in the tank will they all do it togather or just one with the male?

You need to do a lot more research before breeding. It is not advised to use more than one female in the spawning tank as usually they will fight for dominance leaving one fish seriously injured. There are some breeders who have successfully spawned with two females but they have years of experience and know how to handle a situation like that.

mistake in the know how of bettas for me i'm a new betta owner only one befor and it was male.... never had females untill last night and pet store (stupid people) told me it was good for the male to have girls in with him 3 girls one male they told me ..... male is in betta cup seeing as he seems to be the problem waiting for a tank to be delivered for the girls and then my boy can have his space back

Yeah.. I hear that a lot.. its an old wives tale. A male betta with a "harem" of females. That will work for some species but not Betta splendens.. they're just too aggressive.
