You need to read your answers to your other questions, that is covered in the answers. Once they finish laying eggs you remove the female, once the fry hatch and are free swimming, you remove the male.

When the eggs hatch and the fry are free swimming take out the male, (the female should be removed from the breeding tank after spwning) from here on the fry should be fed infusoria for several days until they are big enough to take microworms or newlt\y hatch baby brine shrimps. And as they grow they can be fed larger sized food and eventuallt\y wean to feed on adult sized food.

short answer: take out the female
OMG! -_-
Damn... i know how you feel. 1st time i breed bettas all my fries died. Because of the ph in the water. R.I.P.
After breeding bettas you should always take out the female.
Female has no part in rasing the fries. Some male do eat the eggs or fries. Thats why you should always feed the male fully before breeding. After breeding no more food for the male.
Also some males are to young and not expierences enough for breeding. No use. either watch if the male contines to eat the fries and if he does then you'll have to take him out also.
Now you have to raise the fries
