I have bred gouramis and I think bettas are pretty similar? If so then there are a lot of things you can do to induce spawning. First thing is to give them high protein feed (thats true for any breeding fish) blood worms would work great. Idealy that should be done before putting them together but I think the female is showing interest so it might work when the are already in the same tank. Other things you could do: if the water level is more than 20cm, lower the water in the tank. Put a floating plastic lid in one corner of the tank that will help the male bulid the nest. Another option is to bunch up alot of floating and broad leaf plants in the corner of the tank. The male and female need their own 'space' so make sure you set up a lot of hiding places/plants for the female in the other corner of the tank, that way she will feel safe and less stressed. I think water changes and increasing the temp a bit may also be used as triggers. Make sure water parameters are very stable and good. Keep an eye on the male to make sure he does'nt get too aggresive. The tank needs to be in a quiet spot without strong lighting and avoid sudden movments/noise to reduce stress as much as possible. Hope that helps
