yeah I can't believe how many eggs there are... there were about 30 eggs in one embrace... and they're still spawning... since 9am this morning.

I always find the world of bettas unfair... the females are always the ones which are bullied. once they don't have any eggs left, the males chase them away. evil leh.

Well, at least in the world of bettas, the male takes care of the babies instead of the female. Tigers and pandas let the females do the taking care. They only come together to mate. To be fair, I think these fights only take place in captivity where the space we allocate for them are small. In paddy fields and tributaries, the females will more often than not merely swim away if the male is not ready with a nest. I doubt he can chase and kill her in the dark waters of the paddy fields.
Out of topic : Ever noticed that bettas react to movement rather than shape? Their eyesight,IMO, should be poor because of their ineffectiveness in darker waters, therefore they respond to movement and light more than shapes and such.

Hehe,not so bad, still looking good

Its their natural habits,once finish mating,only he will guard and takecare off the spawn, no one else must come near.

I agree,i guess in the wild,the female will go to the male which display good courtship and have his nest ready,to minimise the damage done to her.From my two male, my female will react more readily to my agreesive male than to my another but non agrressive male.
