Default Size difference...

I have decided to breed/spawn my two bettas. I purchased a female (whom I have named Jing) and when I put her beside my male (Chao) I noticed how tiny she was compared to him. I am worried that she might be too small for him. Should I spawn the two?

Size can make a big difference in spawning. You want the female to be slightly smaller than the male but if the size difference is too great, you may end up with a dead female.
