    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

    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❤️🥺

    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.

    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! :)

    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.
