Really nice species profile!! Love how you guys talk about fish that most fish keepers don’t even know about. Keep up the great work.
Lovely little Bettas. I used to keep these a few years ago. Right now I have a male and female Mahachaiensis that behave similarly.
I love wild bettas.
They are beautiful 😍 i really want the mahachaensis
Wild type fish and fresh genetics are a real consideration as we move forward in the hobby! F100+ might not cut it in the long term
👍🏻👍🏻
Where I can find a true pair in or near Raleigh, NC? Went to a local aquarium and ordered an alien one almost a year ago and still waiting, so if I ask for this I’m sure they would never be able to get them.
I have no idea where you could get one locally. Best i can tell is to buy them online at The Wet Spot and use my code steenfott10 to save 10%. www.wetspottropicalfish.com/affiliate/Steenfottaquatics/
The only supplier I knew of in Raleigh just left the hobby this past spring. I bought Aliens and Imbellis from him. I've seen the occasional Alien at Chapel Hill/Durham Petcos. I recently picked up a baby boy Betta for $2.99 that I was pretty sure is an Imbellis and a month later it definitely looks it. If I were looking to order, I'd go through Blackwater Aquatics.
their common name is emerald betta not pink pearl betta, also these are not a wild version of the splendens, these are a closely related species, splendens are different and you can also get wild splendens
It's pretty common in the hobby that fish have multiple common names. Also, at no point in this video did we state they are wild versions of betta splendens.
Wild bettas are hard to take care of. They come in with parasites and are very sensitive to water parameters. This goes for any wild caught fish species though. I wish i couldve known this when i purchased a wild betta. I had him for just one week.
Nah, been keeping a lot species of wild bettas with ease(all of them are wild caught cuz I'm a purist who only kept original wild betta species) and all of them are fine with no parasites whatsoever. It just that you need to keep extra care with their water parameters (especially the ph level and temperature) cuz yeah, they're wild fish and mostly wild caught. This aren't your average joe domestic betta splendens from the pet shop that can tolerate wide range of water temperaments so you want to mimic their natural habitat as close as you can get. Also different wild bettas species requires different care ranging from the most beginner friendly the splendens complex to the most I would say expert level of care requirement which is the Unimaculata complex. Please do ample research before buying any fish especially exotic species like the wild bettas.
