Both male and female betta must be kept alone. Yes, in some cases female betta might seem to be peaceful to each other and to other fish, but in some cases they even killed the male betta. Lets not to take any chance. All it takes is one incident for it to go wrong.
I am not familiar with betta breeding since I haven't tried it myself, but their close relative Gourami are bred in such way that the female and male are only put in the same tank during the breeding, and must be separated soon after the eggs are laid. I would think the betta breeding is similar.
