I would not recommend putting a female Beta in with him, especially in a 3.5 gal tank. He will chase her and harrass her. If you do put them together she needs a refuge to hide in. Of course, when they are ready to mate you can put her in with him for a short time, but she will often be trashed by him in the process. All of this from my limited experience raising Betas.
