I have a 29 gallon tank with a male betta inside a pretty large breeding net. On the other side of the breeding net is a female betta. After a few weeks I've been noticing the female will stay near the male and they will flare back and forth. In addition, The female also looks to be becoming pregnant.

Could the male's sperm travel through the breeding net to impregnate the female? Also, if the female is pregnant, should I move her into the breeding net (switching the male and female) so that she can drop the eggs in there, then switch them back so the male can place them in his bubble nest? Is that the correct way?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
