Answer
Hi Laura,
You will never be able to put two bettas together.  The male will kill her.  You will have to put your new beauty in another tank.  Bettas are siamese fighting fish.  The only time you can put a male, and a female together would be if you wanted to breed them, and even then you must never take your eyes off them during the spawn.  The female always comes out of it hurt, ragged, and very weak.  Even two females will not get along so well.  There is always a dominant one. You must take her out as soon as possible.  Bettas can jump, so be very careful.
