I’ve been travelling around in Thailand for a university exchange studying about aquaculture and marine biology. I’ve fallen in love with Thailand’s wildlife and fishes 😍

Amazing footage, I've never seen from anywhere else. Thank you for your patient and looking forward to your next video.

[@chiewleongong]

Oh my gosh they're such amazing beautiful creatures! I hope and wish the best for these wild bettas. Wish the Thai people know these are treasures and protect their environment.

[@IndoorEcosystem]

Stunning footage! Made all the more special with the amount of work you had to put in to get it!

[@majorbruster5916]

Rodrigo, your commitment to your work is highly commendable. Thank you, your guide, and your girlfriend for putting yourselves in tremendous discomfort just for our enjoyment. I can appreciate the long hours of travelling and preparation that went into this video as a friend of mine is a freelance wildlife photographer. Having lived in the tropics, I know how the high temperatures can tire you out. Thank you very much.

[@risilva]

My pleasure!

So cool. What a hard but very rewarding job you have. 👍

[@risilva]

It really is! thanks!

[@mountainhobbit1971]

and of course now that Thailand is getting rid of their mangrove swamps the flooding is getting much much worse...I am not sure what it is going to take for humans to realize how important nature is. Anyways, I got my calendar from you and I love it. Thank you.

[@risilva]

Thank you so much for getting a calendar, I'm glad you like it! It's true that mangroves play a crucial role in protecting against flooding and supporting wildlife, hopefully this video can inspire more efforts to preserve these vital ecosystems.

[@itzmeololz]

Thank you 😄

[@hermann6243]

Wenn schon solltest du aber auch in der Foto-Küvette die wenigen lokalen Exemplare dokumentieren Foto Film / Filmen die du im Sieb gefangen hast !

[@ricardocorreia3898]

Muitos parabéns!!!! Excelente vídeo. Fico mesmo contente que esta qualidade de imagem seja com espécies de que gosto e das quais ha pouca informação. Espero que recebas o reconhecimento que mereces. Maior sorte do mundo e comtinua a trazer essas espécies e a sua ecologia para nós. Achei que se faltou só outro final para o vídeo. Mas foi muito muito bom. Nem sei se estava na televisão a ver o BBC Vida Selvagem ou no KZbin.

[@risilva]

Obrigado pelo apoio, vou levar sua sugestão sobre o final em consideração para os próximos vídeos!

[@kennethcoutinho4439]

Awesome 👌

[@Four-of-Six]

Endangered in the wild..... while these are sold in pet shops in Europe (and you can even buy them online). But you have to order them at your LPS and they order them at the retailer. I have 2 of these ( males) in two seperate Dennerle tanks and a Imbellis male.

[@GhGh-rp5rc]

You are really great. ❤❤ 6:54
