Breeding Bettas

Eek. Poor thing. Maybe you should not breed them. It sounds like she is a hurting unit. Why don't you get rid of the male? Poor girl

The curling action the Betta is doing is normal breeding behavior. It looks pretty brutal but it is how it is done. The male must wrap it's body around the female to squeze the eggs out of the female. This is an exhausting process and often the female may "pass out". The aftermath of the birthing process does leave the fish pretty "beat up". Give some time and separate the female after a day should help. Just don't break any of the "bubble nest" in the process if possible. There are eggs in the bubbles. The male is left behind to take care of the nest and NOT the female!
Hopefully, everything will be okay. Separation after breeding is necessary or they will kill eachother.

Just because the male has beaten her up(which is normal) is no reason to get rid of him, its their basic nature.

Best of luck, may I ask to see pictures of the parents, or possibly be able to hear an update?
