Hoping for the best....
Don't know the age of the male....

Hmm, hopefully instinct will kick in and he'll figure it out.

Will there still in the same tank....
Haven't remove the female yet...
She won't mate anymore...
But the male is not hitting her to....
N she the only one that picking up the egg from the bottom n spiting it in the bubble nest....
Once she done....
Going to remove her....
If all the egg hatch from this spawn....
It's going to b a big one....

If you leave the female in she may take care of the nest instead of the male. It has been documented that females can and will care for the nest. The tend to not be as good at it but it's better than nothing.

If the male isn't tending to the eggs, take him out. Either let the eggs be or move them and artificially hatch them

[Curlyfatbottom]

Will I don't want to take him out...
Cause a few egg hatch....
Want him to learn....
Going to breed him again....
In a month or two....
To c if he'll change....
Never know u can artificial hatch betta egg....
Only hear that in Cichlid.....

You say a few eggs did hatch? You probably have more fry than you think. Betta fry are excellent at hiding. As soon as the fry are swimming horizontally, it is ok to take out the male. IME, there are usually at least twice the number of fry than you think. If you see a few, there are probably many more. I think giants tend to have smaller numbers of fry, but their fry are capable of growing very rapidly with proper care. Good luck!
