I always find wild type bettas so interesting in comparison to the normal bettas we see on the regular. The vibrant NATURAL colors, the fins, their shape. So beautiful and under appreciated in my opinion
Well, the wild type bettas are the “normal” bettas.

yeah. When I first got into bettas, I only liked the domesticated long-finned varieties. Over time I've actually fallen in love with wild species. I keep a mahachaiensis, which I think is one of the most beautiful species, and just can't go back to the domesticated ones. Wild type bettas are insanely hardy, just as personable, and much more peaceful
Yeah, they're shy and predatory
Collecting betta fish on their natural habitat is indeed a stress-relieving habit. By collecting these betta fish, we can preserve them and make them more. Thank you for this video❤️🥺
Oh, wow, Frank! I love the work you (and all of those who help you) do! It's such an amazing legacy you're leaving out there...
(I'd love to win that wild betta, too. I've got a 20-gallon long cycled and ready!) :D
Great video as usual! Every video feels like going on an adventure with you (without having to leave the comfort of my armchair, so thank you!) I really enjoy the surprise of seeing what kind of wild betta you get every time! Keep up the great work!
It’s always so great to learn about the whole story each fish has, seeing the natural habitats to help provide the best homes. Beautiful fish, thank you for sharing!
Congratulations to your Child!!Hopefully a new Beta Breeder :D Allways nice to see the natural Habitat of these fish. Stay Save!
I really like seeing the natural habitats, it helps me better design my own aquariums. Its amazing to see how brightly colored the bettas are once they are conditioned.
I think it's so important that aquarists strive to emulate the natural enivronments of the specimens they keep. These videos really help amateurs and professionals alike get an accurate picture of these habitats. Thank you for sharing!
I appreciate you bredding them and then releasing them back into the wild.
It's so pleasant to watch you catch these bettas and breed them to release in wild. I am literally impressed and inspired by your work, and I will also try to preserve these species like you, thank you for such amazing information.
This is how it must’ve looked like when my dad and his friends used to catch wild bettas in Thailand as kids!
This is super rad. I've fallen in love with Bettas and I've been eyeballing you're website for a while now man I think you're pretty good at what you do. Would love to order from you soon
Fascinating insights in to the natural habitat, once again taking the hobby to the next level.
It's so great to see these natural habitats. Thank you for your work in keeping there natural environment alive and educating people about the needs of theses beautyfull species. I'm builing up a new tank for a wild betta right now and your videos and especialy your interview with AquaOwner in Germany, are a big help to make things right. 😊
One of the reasons I respect you so much man. There are not a lot of people out there trying to save species from extinction. I am also glad you get to spend time with the family.
Amazing content, its hard to find this kind of videos of bettas in naturall habitats, all the best you you
Incredible video and so informative thanks for sharing your knowledge!
So sad that their habits are being destroyed though 😔
I love seeing them in their habitats; it's so important to think about the whole ecosystem. And it's always encouraging to see people working on trying to preserve these fish :)
I think it’s awesome what you’re doing for Bettas, I’ve been watching you for quite some time and you’ve come along way. Great job!!
🐠 🐟
By far the most care and love put into the Alien species. Love seeing your work!
Thank you for sharing this and showing not only how the fish live, but also how you're helping them survive as a wild population.
Beautiful fish! wild type always look nicer to me.
Good job on maintaining the habitats, hope your new pond can help to improve the betta population
As always I love seeing these videos. It’s great to be able to see and understand where our beloved fishes come from.
Glad to see you are doing well! Was a bit sad when I didn’t see you post in a while, but congrats on your son! Best wishes from the US.
It’s so amazing to me to get to see where these fish come from and how they are collected. Absolutely love these collecting videos! Thank you for sharing and congrats to you and your wife on the birth of your child!
Congratulations on the new baby!!
I went swimming in a pond onetime and had a bunch of leaches on me. It was so freaky ! Thanks for all you do ..amazing video
Inspiring work you do here. Learned a lot about betta, upkeep, care from the website and channel. 👍👍
Thanks for your hard work to show us the natural habitat for these fishes, hope to get a wild betta one day :)
Always good to see your videos, hope you are staying safe during this trying time!
I always absolutely love these videos - makes me want to come visit Thailand! And/or go snorkeling around here, but it’s too cold for that right now 😅
Love what you do! As well as your conservation work, teaching us betta enthusiasts about their natural habitat helps us to replicate their needs and enable them to thrive in captivity. My Frank's copper alien loves the biotope I created for him using your videos/information - I'm eager to set up another tank with hopes of adding one of your gorgeous smaragdinas!
these videos are amazing, thank you for doing so much to try and help conserve these amazing fish! It's incredible to see their natural habitats.
It's incredible to see the natural habitat where these amazing bettas originated. It's sad to see how limited areas still being converted loosing natural habitats. Hopefully from your intervention someone can assist in preservation. Congratulations on your first child. Thank you Frank for sharing...keep up the excellent work. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I really enjoy seeing the natural habitat for these creatures, they are so beautiful!
That was the best video I have ever seen! I always wanted to see, what the natural habitat of bettas looks like. The underwater scenes are the best!!! I love it. Now I want a betta again and make him the best home. ❤
Love seeing how they truly live in the wild. Thank you for being willing to show us even though there are chances of snakes or leeches 😅
My first time seeing wild bettas being caught. Definitely has me wanting one in the future. Thank you for sharing the process
Always enjoyed your videos and learned a lot from them. Most of my life I've only ever kept domestic bettas but after watching your videos I've grown to like wild bettas and I was actually able to own one. Love your videos!
I love seeing the natural habitats and the preservation efforts!
Stunningly gorgeous emerald green beauties..😍😍😍😍 Frank Sir can you explain method on conditioning them as well as the ph/temperatures of the natural environment? What's leaves that fall & release tannins in this region? Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👏👏
Do you take Tourist to do this?. I love to hire you as a guide whenever i get a chance to come visit Thailand... thank you
You do an amazing job of maintaining the breed. It is an honor to know your work and to contribute a little to my orders. I hope I can choose from some wonderful fish for a very long time to come. Good luck in the future .
Amazing work like always, Frank. Always looking forward to your videos. Being a hobbyist it's fascinating to know how the fishes live in the wild...gives an idea about how to set up the tank to properly take care of them.
I really appreciate the conservation and education benefits your efforts have generated. Thank you for more of this.
I just came upon rescuing betta and looking to find someone educated! Glade I found your channel! I subscribed and rang the bell lol. Going to definitely stick around I’m mostly on Instagram so I followed you then.
Thanks for the video! I am constantly playing with the thought of ordering a smaragdina male from you. Plz tell me: Does their coloration stay constantly or does it change depending on if it wants to mate?
Greetings from austria
Would love to add one of these to my betta collection. Much love from America! Keep up the hard work
As always an awesome video bro !! You not only produce the best bettas but also educate the hobbyists all around the world with your amazing videos. Thank you for sharing your experience with us all. Love from India ❤️
Those fish are gorgeous, I can’t believe how nature can create such beautiful fish and ecosystems. It is always so impressive!
I am a big fan you and your Copper Aliens bro... Hoping I'll win one of your fish sometime 😭
I love seeing their natural habitats, and the fish are gorgeous. Also love the conservation work you are doing!
Always happy to see the care and attention on all your videos, I loving to see their habitat and i hope it is maintained for a long time!
Love your ambition in helping to educate and keep the wild Betta type thriving.
Really love seeing the habitat & the colours are gorgeous, so stunning!
Almost every video I watch about a species the animal is threatened or endangered due to human activity. Thank you for helping to preserve these beautiful fish. Wonderful guide for setting up a tank and excellent information. Beautiful place!
Great seeing people helping the environment in their own way
This is so amazing to see the wild habitat!
Always love your videos, Frank, and these natural habitat videos are easily my favorite! They give us brilliant ideas for setting up accurate natural biotope tanks for our favorite fish! Thank you so much for all the work you do, for trying to reestablish natural habitats for these fish, and for providing us with so much education and information about them!
Love what you do! I recently got into aquascaping, and I found your videos helpful and inspiring. I hope to purchase some bettas from you to support your brand :)
Thank you and your team for trying to save the fish.
It’s so wonderful of you to do these kind of things!
As a person who keeps and breeds some pairs of endangered wild bettas from different complexes, it is so sad to see that people would just destroy these habitats without knowing what they are actually doing.
We really need more people who care like you in this world.
Wonderful video! I really enjoyed it! :)
Frank, thanks for sharing this! So incredibly cool. I had no idea this was bettas native habitat.
I always look forward to viewing your videos! Learning how bettas are in the wild is amazing! Keep up the good work!
So fascinating - absolutely gorgeous fish !!! I have a captive bred imbellis ( she is so sweet and cool - she behaves completely differently from my male splendens - much more wary and very fast ! ) . It's really interesting to see detailed footage of the natural environment , including plant species - and wild betta's in it . Thanks Frank and congrats for your little one too :)
I love being able to see where these super popular fish come from. You do an amazing do an amazing job documenting and showing every part of their ecosystem.
Thanks for bringing us along, Frank! I've followed your work for years and I love it when you post videos like this.
Wow! Wild Bettas are stunning. Also, congratulations on your new baby! ❤️
Great job!
Greetings from Germany

I went to Thailand a few years ago, didn’t go hunting, but wish I did. Looks like fun!❤️🇦🇺
Love watching your videos! Thank you for all your work in protecting wild bloodlines! I love your copper aliens, planning on ordering one in the next few weeks!
It’s such a shame to see these beautiful animals natural habitats being destroyed. I’m glad you guys are out there helping them out.
Hey Frank, love your work. It’s great to know where their habitat is and what kinds of plants they live around. Lots of great information here. Thanks, keep up the good work.
Wild bettas are so beautiful, its like appreciating your own native species of fish. They are underrated.
I've never seen this type of Betta before I found you recently! Your dedication to Betta conservation is inspiring! I love seeing their natural habitat, I had no idea! And they look so different after you acclimate them! Just stunning! I have two tanks cycled for Bettas, and now aliens are on my list!
This is such an inspiration for how to setup a natural habitat aquarium for one of your bettas. I plan to start setting up a 20 gal long tank in the near future abs preparing it before I order. Very excited to get one of these amazing wild bettas
I have a male pro-democrat/pro-democracy taiwan🇹🇼 paradise fish I will be breeding him with a female machachai fighter fighter plakat bettafish.
Thanks Franks for showing us the habitat of Smaragdina Wild Bettas.
It really helps to understand their environment.
Great job 👍
Thank you sincerely for you work Frank. It's so inspiring to see you and your family drive this conservation project. Wild Bettas have been my favorite fish for quite some time now, and I have been a huge admirer of your work ethic since I discovered your instagram. Your videos are educational and I've learned so much that I can apply to my aquariums. Thank you!
I think it’s super important to see videos like these, so people can see their natural habitat. I always say to people that the best thing that they can possibly do for their fish is to provide a natural habitat for them! I have some extra 10 gallons that I would love to turn into wild betta tanks, and hopefully breed them in the future as well.
I love watching your conservation videos. I learn so much about bettas in their natural habitat and what they do for the surrounding environment! Thanks for your hard work!
Awesome. I’ve been waiting for a new video !!!
It's amazing to see their natural habitat and you doing this work to teach us about them.
This is a great resource to learn about their environment so we can create better aquariums at home. Thanks for sharing!
Would love to see a wild betta habitat in real life but these videos are the next best thing. Thanks for all you do to conserve these beauties.
Thank You for your great breeding, conservation and educational work on this little guys.
คือเว้าอังกฤษเก่งแท้ครับ ภาพกะงาม
I think having footage like this available is imperative to our hobby. The fish we buy some from places many of us will never get chance to experience first hand, this is a great way to show what fish are used to in the wild!
It’s just amazing to watch these fish and see exactly where they come from. Thanks for making these videos Frank!
Love these videos!
👍👍👍👍
I really enjoy the quality of your photos and videos but more importantly the ability to learn about the native and proper care of bettas from a truly educated and unbiased source, thank you for your efforts!
Wow. That green and red one is amazing !!!
Stunning mate. Truly beautiful fish you collected there. Not sure what you're better at; collecting and breeding Betta or making videos on collecting and breeding Betta. That was as good as any nature documentary from a major producer. Really enjoyed it.
Congratulations on the wee one mate. You and your misses will have your hands full now no doubt haha..
I'm blessed that we were poor when i was a kid. The joy of catching fish in swamps can never be replaced
Love watching your videos. Thank you for helping keep wild betta bloodlines going!
Awesome video!! Your channel seems really cool!! Just subbed too!!
While it debunks the myth that Bettas should be kept in tiny bowls or tiny aquariums it also shows that the greed and lust to process other living beings is still ongoing. Don't get me wrong, these fish have probably a better chance to survive 'should' they get into the hands of someone who truly makes the effort to keep them correctly (maybe 1 out of a thousand people as it seems), but we are the cause of pollution,plundering and destruction of nature in the first place. Once we had 170 Million people on this planet, now we have nearly 8 billion who demand and demand natural living animals, natural habitat and destroy or occupy natural space.
it's awesome to see the process but also your true love and dedication in all these videos!
