i put my bettas in the breeding tank together and the female is chasing the male. he shows off, she chases him, she stops under the bubble nest, then it starts all over. Is this bad?

Sounds like normal behaviour to me. Shouldn't be anything to worry about.

They need more time You just have to make sure they have enough time to get to know each other and get a bit bored with each other before you release them
