wild Betta smaragdina

[TheMoua07]

your betta needs space in the middle..too much plants and big rockss

@TheMoua07

It does have a lot of open space (too much in fact) but I didn't show it.  What I recorded was just one side of the 10 gallon tank. The other half of the tank looks like the video in my "wild Betta imbellis" video (it's the same tank with different fish). I use the same tank set-up when I spawn all my bettas - one half of the tank has lots of cover for the female to hide and the other half is open space.

you have wild bettas, so i am going to ask you about bettas and not those stuck up pricks who think bettas need stupid mansions which some of us cant afford, but in this video it looks like they have like 1 foot of water and the tank is huge, so here's my question, do bettas REALLY need all that uneccessary mass space and large amount of water to live happy and healthy in a tank? o.o

@DomSubmissiveKitty

I zoomed in on the camera and so that might make things look big as well as having lots of water. The tank is just a 10 gallon tank (if you want to call that a big tank then ok) with about water that's 5 inches high. To answer your question about bettas needing all that space, they don't really need lots of space and the water level shouldn't be too high either. Where ever you put your fish, if your betta is in a relaxed state, then it shows that it's comfortable.

@ntsees thanks, i was getting alot of negativity from other betta vid commentors about what tank my betta Rio lives in, i plan to get a 2 gallon tank soon but for now he lives in a standard glass betta bowl. it takes alot of money just to get tanks for fish when you struggling just to find ur first job... ._.

[Oneeyedoyster]

@DomSubmissiveKitty could always do what i do, put him in a vase or just a cheap glass bowl you can find at a garage sale. :)

@ntsees your wild beast doesn't look comfortable. seem like its stressed and wants to swin out in a wider space or someshit lol.

[ntsees]

@bahok123

Lol, maybe I should have mentioned it, but the reason why it's all moving around like that is because I put a mirror on the side of the tank. He's trying to find that male that he saw (his own reflection). Before I put the mirror, he was slow and calm as bettas usually are.

[pjgaga98]

Awwwww he's so cute :D I love his colors

[BTC141]

Nice looking male. I'd like to have one for my breeding tank.

@BTC141

You can try looking at aquabid(dot)com. They usually have smaragdinas in the wild bettas section.

[BTC141]

@ntsees thanks.

[memeluzski123]

beautiful :)

[thaosta92]

hey i want to know if you sale that betta because i want to buy them for my collection and to keep it for show..

[1peiceaznboi]

Are these also like the mahachais or no?

[ntsees]

@1peiceaznboi

I've never kept the mahachais and so I'm not sure.

[limdaf]

my wild betta bigger than normal betta fish and only alive 3 year ..cause dirty water change so I buy fresh water bottle keep alive both betta fish seem fine .

[betteryou123]

i have one of those

[sonicgunner15]

Faster and Sharper than Spelnden but not stamina

[ntsees]

@sonicgunner15 : I've never had them fight so I wouldn't know about their speed and sharpness. But yes, they should not have a lot of stamina and that's my intention as well. I purchased them as being wild specimens and if they do have a lot of stamina, then I was probably ripped off.

[CorvetteRacingFan]

Is it just me or do they seem to be much more energetic than the captive bred ones?

[ntsees]

Captive bred bettas can also be energetic but it depends on their age and how well they are kept.

[sexiwitdimples]

cool

[Mr56high]

I want one they are so cool

[taithien602]

do you sell any of this type?? please reply

[HmOobkOi559]

Nice set up you got here, I'll see if i can capture that roosters crow, though it may not be until next monday.

[XLPwnage]

i like them more than the splendens.... too bad i have a splendens, where'd you buy your samardina?

[ntsees]

I bought them at a local pet shop. The fish were imported from thailand.

[Axolotlvriend]
