dude, thank you for posting up this video man! i mean i've seen these guys before at the pet shops, etc. but i never really cared for them cause they cost so damn much and didn't even know what they were! but wow they are incredible! seriously...never knew they opened their mouths like that. Makes me want to get some myself! thanks again. best video so far of these beautiful betta Macrostoma
@GREATESTEVER86 Thanks for watching my video! They are great, I no longer have them, but wouldn't mind keeping them again. My LFSs do not carry them, that's nice that yours does!
the other day i went to a betta shop, i saw something that looks like that, i was like WTF is this? this looks like a betta but entirely different...but when i saw it i was like damm these guys are big but they were order by someone because it said reserve for some hmong dude....how much did you pay for these guys, man i want too..
@hathN0o They can get to 4 inches and live for several years. I housed pairs in 20L tanks with covers as they are known to jump. Also provide plenty of hiding spots.
I do not fight them or any of my bettas. I have this theory that if you put males together for a bit, it will encourage breeding because there's competition. I always take them out before any attacks are made towards one another.

@GREATESTEVER86 I got more into shrimp keeping and sold the Macs to a Betta breeder who was interested in working with them.

Can these type of betta actually kill a plakat betta? I'm just curious.

@1peiceaznboi Yeah, I think they can do real damage to a plakat. Macs are twice their size and their mouths are quite big.

@dxiong5 Thats what I thought too.
1peiceaznboi 8 months ago
@1peiceaznboi I'm sure they can if you keep them together long enough; their large mouths can probably grab hold of the Plakat's whole head.
