I love bettas. I've been seriously studying the various wild bettas. One of the things I was worried about was feeding and raising the fry. Great video, lots of good information. Green water and mulm, the way to go.
👍💕👍
For bubble nesters, it works very well. The mouth brooder babies are big enough to eat bbs from the get go, so they are lots easier to raise.
I've found with my killifish fry that a 35mm petri dish is perfect for 3 or less newly hatched fry. They don't have to search far for food, and it's easy to change the water with a pipette.
Great idea! "The Wingard Method"! Thanks!
Love wild bettas - these guys are reallly awesome
I'm diggin' them.
always learning something new! thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, AWA!
I'm running out of tanks with all these new projects! Thank you.
I'm glad to feed the need!
I can give you tank..
@@bingbingrivera2365 *sigh* 😩 Get a life.
Really good information on these fish. I love the fact that you can keep many of them together.
A tank full of bettas...stunning!
@@DansFish I breed bettas and at times I will have a female sorority of around 15 females in a 20 Gal long it is so cool looking to see bettas all together
Awesome video. love your natural way of raising fries. I also breed and raise Betta Imbellis and related hybrids.
SAA, great to hear from you. What do you usually feed the fry for the first few days/weeks? I'm always open to new food ideas.
@@DansFish I usually breed the pair in a tank filled with java moss. I add a few drops of liquidfry to encourage infusoria growth. About 4 days after free swimming i will introduce daphnias. I seldom feed with brine shrimp as daphnia can be bought from some LFS in Singapore.
@southeastasiaaquatics being you breed Imbellis didnt you realize that these are actually Wild Splendens... these are not True Imbellis, maybe a Wild Splendens X Imbellis at the very best.
@@betta_360 Yes..Its true, they are not pure imbellis. In fact there are more Betta splendens and Imbellis. Imbellis is smaller, slim and very shy.
Always love these instructional videos! Great content. ❤️
Thanks for watching, MindyLou
Dans Fish I’ve got a new video up. I’m not as good as getting them up regular like you are but you’ve inspired me. ❤️
Great tips! I wish there were more breeders here in Finland, I don't know anybody else😅 My second patch of betta imbellis just hatched, hope I get lots of fry👌
I'm all about the malm, I like to make a rich core in the middle of my substrate with that and worm castings
Very cool....👍
Groovy!
Great coverage my friend!
Michael, great to hear from you. Hope all is well down under.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing! - Little Bobby
You got it, Little Bobby!
nice video. your imbellis look like hybrid imbellis..this imbellis had been cross with other splenden betta
youre right, they are too big to be imbellis. if anything they are likely only 20% or less of imbellis. more domesticated than wild type.
You are correct, these are not pure bred Imbellis, maybe a Wild Splendens X imbellis hybrid at best
Awesome video Thanks for the info
Really nice and informative video! Beautiful fish!
RDT, thanks for watching...its great to have you around.
Dan, if you don't already have one, I'd be highly interested in what you do to keep that 20L Green Water tank going. That's a great idea.
John, People keep asking for that vid and I keep not making it. I guess I should make it!
@@DansFish Well, I for one would appreciate it.
Me "two"! I have an old tank just waiting for this purpose!
Great content. Thanks Dan.
Thanks for commenting, Tim!
HI, Just found your video.....Great. I would love to try to breed these Imbellis....! I AM A RETIRED ZOO KEEPER/ Biologist.... really like betta..... thanks, FOR the GREAT tips, AND info......! New subscriber......
Howdy, Ron. It is always great to have a zoo keeper in the house. Welcome aboard!
I'd love to have a session to pick your brain! Welcome! Dan is a great guy, and a guru for us fish nerds! 😁
Outstanding video dan, thank you. More like this please
Working on it, PE. I'm setting up a shelf of smaller tanks to breed different species in so I can get more vids like this.
Great profile video very rich in information Monger on Dan 🧐
Thanks! Imma back to mongering now...:)
Nice!!! Were the scuds cleaning off the snails? they kept going up to the snails and staying on top of them
The scuds just swim until they run into something they can grip onto. Often, that is a snail because the snails are easier to hang on than the glass of the aquarium. They clean whatever they land on, so I have me some squeaky clean snails!
Cool stuff. I have spawned rubra, but I don't personally have a huge interest in bettas to be honest.
Different strokes for different folks and all.
Snakehead. That's the species that predates on Betta Splendens in their native habitat.
Love Bettas..don't have those...nice vid.
If you need some: getgills.com/product.detail/569
Mine spawned within 30 seconds of removing the divider. Guess I got lucky 😆
Hi mate, great clip. Was wondering how to culture green water? Is it a simple matter of turning filtration off and upping light? Also instead if the female in the corner could I put her in a jar inside the aquarium or do you think that would stress her too much?
Regards Duzzy from🇦🇺
#mulmforlife
She can be in a jar
im sorry to tell ya, but thats not betta imbellis, you can tell by the red operculum , its either a wild splenden or a hybrid imbellis.
You might be right. I'm not expert enough about imbellis to know all the color varieties from all their collection points. Either way, I like that they are peaceful enough that I can keep them together in a group.
Do these guys have color morphs? I just got my first imbellis and their color is closer to cyan/ light blue while yours are kinda purpleish.
This is so awesome and now I have so many questions. Can the males breed with the other females? How do I setup a green tank like you've got? I've been wanting to be self sufficient for feeding my fish for a while now.
Howdy Paul,
Sure, the male will breed with multiple females.
Here's how I make green water: th-cam.com/video/laoRf1sYJQ8/w-d-xo.html
Dl they eat flat worm? Or are flatworm dangerous for them?
Could we get an update video. Short and sweet!
But it's plakat betta not imbellis 🤔
I have wanted to see if I could get a colony of these or simplex for a while. Thinking something like a 40B or 33 long so there is lots of territory.
Those tanks are the perfect size. Lots of plants or other decorations, and you should be good to go.
Easy way to tell a hybrid from a true wild... true wilds are only green morphs, if the fish is a wild type but Blue, there has been hybridization in the bloodline.
Dan would you be selling any blue with red tail bettas ? That male betta is beautiful ,, thanks
Frankie, Thanks for the query. I don't plan to do that in the foreseeable future.
Hi this is Jim's wife Diana Thank you for calling the fish Betta not Baitta just a pet peeve of mine. for one of your contest can you do koi angels or discus?
We all have our pet peeves...LOL! I would do angels or discus giveaways, but I don't currently have any of the varieties you requested.
Nice video but it's not B. imbellis. Just plain domestic plakat B. splendens
You could be right about that, but I think there are so many populations and variations among imbellis, that making a firm ID from a vid is probably an "educated guess" at best.
Could be a hybrid of the two as well. It's not uncommon for them to be sold.
That is a hybrid
🤔I don't know why petstores sell the aggressive ones🤔
Its cuz the much aggressive domestic Betta Splendens were bred to have much more coloration, patterns and tail shapes. Most people find it to be much more attractive than the original wild betta but personally I disagree. But hey in the of the day everyone got their own opinions so yea.
Look like already hybrid..
👍
🕶🎸
When will you sell more imbellis?
These are Wild Splendens, I'd buy them from someone who can tell the difference between Imbellis and Wild Splendens..
@@betta_360 they are in the splendens complex but they are known as imbellis a member of the complex
@@empressdowagerxuan7757 No! I 100% guarantee you these are NOT Imbellis, yes they are members of the Complex but these are clearly hybrids at best
@@betta_360 oh yes they are, imbellis are differ from hybrids
@@empressdowagerxuan7757 Ohmahgawd, are you that thick headed? I BREED Betta Imbellis! Not hybrids, these are not Betta Imbellis in this video, if you look at other comments many people point this out, a little research and you would clearly know this
A group of females can live with a male, these aren’t your domestic splendens that are very inbred and line bred for being more territorial.
Domestic bettas were inbred for many years, there was no genetic rescue so they slowly degenerated in terms of behaviors and health. When animals become very inbred, you will notice deficiency in their behaviors decrease as well as hereditary diseases that are not prevalent in wild bettas.
I hope wild bettas continue to be bred in captivity by responsible people who don’t breed sibling pairs for generations. Fish are more resistant to inbreeding but that doesn’t make inbreeding okay, as much as possible, people should aim for genetic diversity so these wild bettas retain their vigor and don’t end up like domestic splendens or other heavily inbred fish like neon tetras. That’s like breeding puppy litter mates with each other, unnecessary incest.
Sellers should also try their best to not sell sibling pairs(when people want a male and female) to reduce incest.
Funny you say so because these are actually Wild Splendens, not betta Imbellis..
@@betta_360 there is hybridization with a lot of commonly sold imbellis or other “species”, the gene pool is pretty muddied up unfortunately. But regardless, you can usually keep wild females together, with the exception of some species where the females are dominant.
@@kenjiro2676 and I keep a large sorority of domestic females together, that wasn't really the point though
Do you sell Water Sprite, seems everyone is out. I've been looking for a plant, I know how fast they take over, so one will be enough or if you have a minimum, I have a pond out back to put the rest.
Howdy Parrot, Yes, I have some for sale. Here's a link: getgills.com/product.detail/1072
@@DansFish what state are you located in?
@@DansFish the reason I asked what state you're in is to know about how far the plants have to travel. It is HOT in north Florida where I am.
Also I noticed you sell "Starts" not sure if you're selling leaves or whole plants with root systems. Although a leaf will produce many plants, for $8.00 I would prefer whole plants.
I think you are mixing up your bettas. Wild bettas that could live in groups don’t look like that
Then why are they living in groups in my aquariums?
Scuds dont ever hurt little baby fish or eat them?
I've never seen it happen.
Dan do you sell these?
When I can. I currently have 2 trios available here: getgills.com/product.detail/569
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼☺️
That's a Hybrid, not pure Imbellis.
You might be right. I'm not expert enough about imbellis to know all the color varieties from all their collection points. Either way, I like that they are peaceful enough that I can keep them together in a group.
Joel, you are correct, these are wild Splendens and not Imbellis betta, it's possible maybe a Imbellis X Wild Splendens hybrid
Should change the title, these are not Betta Imbellis 😖 I wonder how many people were sold these mis labeled? I just bought one labeled as a delta tail. But it was a real Betta Imbellis not a wild Betta Splenden like these..
You might be right. I'm not an imbellis expert.
No subscribe, like and share cause you don't explain the heart of the subject: how to create the green water that you use to grow the fries.
Is imbellis same ' Alien'?
No.. Aliens are hybrids of wild betta types.
What Southeast AA said.
I'm thinking my Plakat Bettas, were Betta Imbellis
They do look very similar.
Do you have any imbellis betta babies for sale? Do you have a website?
getgills.com/store.product/Dans_Fish
Dansfish.com aka getgills.com
Howdy Billy, no babies, but I do have a couple of trios available. My website is DansFish.com
He doesn't have Imbellis for sale because these are NOT betta Imbellis 😡
this is actually wild form of betta splendens not imbellis
They were Imbellis
Sydney, You might be right. I'm not expert enough about imbellis to know all the color varieties from all their collection points. Either way, I like that they are peaceful enough that I can keep them together in a group.
Take this video down! Stope spreading wrong information! These are NOT betta Imbellis.. maybe Splendens X Imbellis at the best.
Thank you, any chance you could post an update on the babies?
That is a hybrid
