If you want to breed him there is alot of stuff you need to do first.FOOD.You need the right food to breed them.When bettas are first born they cant just eat anything.I will tell you what I use.For the first week I use vinger ells after that I use micro worms and live brine shrimp Then on to small grindals and then on to first bite.After that its a mix of diffrent pellets and flakeMy fav's being betta pro and spectrum.(If you know any of this already then sorry.)You will then need many jars to house the bettas.They can in one spawn have more then 100.And with that you will have to change water...Depending on size once a day or once a week.You will also need meds to help heal the female or the male after a spawn.To get them to spawn you need to condition them first for about 2 weeks.You will need somthing to spawn them in like a ten gallon or 5g.I use a ten gallon divided planted.For the male to make a bubble nest you will need somthing for him to make it under.There are many things you can use from a leaf to a stryofaom cup cut in half.I use bubble wrap or a flat piece of styrofoam.I add the female to the spawning tank first to get her use to it.I then remove her and put her in a glass chimney and add the male.The male will react to her by making a bubble nest.After he has I remove the female and add her to the tank.After they have breed I remove the female and treat her.I know I forgot stuff so you need to read read read.There are many diffrent ways people breed so just find one you like.Sorry for any mistakes I am a school so had to write fast.One more thing where you could run into a problem.How old is your betta.the older they get the harder it is to get them to spawn.The age to breed them imo is 8 months.If you got this betta at a chain pet store mostlikly its a year+.
