Something that is really good for them, especially during breeding is almond leaf. You can get it on aquabid for really cheap and it makes the water a kind of brownish color but it is supposed to imitate their natural habitat (leaves falling in the water) The leaf not only helps condition the water but it provides a place for the male to make his nest.
So with the babies last time. Did they just disappear? Are you using a filter on the breeding tank? Oh and those two definitely need a bigger tank. I recommend no smaller than a 1g tank for a betta. I personally always try and use 2-5g per betta.
I have babies from them right now .I lost the babies last time because i tried feeding them fry fish food.Well i now have 3 differant worm cultures that were recommended from a betta breeder.No filtration on the tank as it wears out the babies.I cut a styrofoam cup in half for him to build his nest in(also recommended by breeders).

Congrats!!!!!! Those guys are very tiny, should be like 500-800 maybe. To give some of you a good idea of the size, they are smaller than a spec of dust. They are truly amazing.

Re: My Betta's
Using a flashlight helps too lol. It was pretty cool the first time I saw babies like that darting across the water. They are just soooo tiny in comparison to cichlid fry.
