Male and female betas

Question
I have a male and a female beta. After being with each for a hour he began nudging her and flaring his fins at her. The tank is one gallon and there is a plant in there. She hides in plant whenever he gets close. I'm afraid she won't eat because she's scared of him or he'll kill her. Is this normal? What should I do?

Answer
Hello,
Take the female out of his tank immediately.  The Betta will kill the poor little female.  Never, ever put in a female betta with a male betta.  Your one gallon tank is already too small for one fish, let alone two.  Take her out or you will see a masscare.
