That's totally awesome. Congrats on the good find! 
You should probably get some Melafix for the skin fungus (either that or it is the other fix, I can't remember off the top of my head). I'm sure he'll be just find after a little TLC.
I will definitely try again, but I have to wait until I graduate because right now I only have enough time for the pets I have. I will get back at it soon. 
If you don't have a lot of information about betta breeding, check out the link below. It's quite useful. The girl who runs it is a successful breeder who is passing along her experience.
