Catching Wild Bettas in Cambodia for breeding conservation! Betta smaragdina natural habitat!

[@evanb4010]

For anyone who watched this video these are not wild bettas. They are domesticated bettas made to be attractive for the aquarium trade and were released into this pond for some reason( it can lead to to true wild bettas genes becoming umpure) and it falsely shows people what wild bettas look like. not one fish in this video is an actual wild fish.

thanks for the comment! do you have a source in which I can find wild betta fishes?

I heard some people purposely release Betta into the pond for them to breed with wild Betta, then they come harvest to see if any new strain from the hybrid. I living in Malaysia and we had wild Betta, they are different and need to be protected

[@BlackShadowCat1010]

ça se voit tout de suite, ils sont beaucoup trop colorés !!!

[@valcourtd100]

Well that sums it up for me. I have a beta and want to make his home comfortable. I’ll add a crap load of live plants 🌱

[@forresttaylor6849]

Oh yeah they love it. And if you keep them by themselves they like to see or hear other fish so a tank next to them will benefit their health.

that is very good for your fish he will enjoy that

[@meganwalker7750]

@Guillermo Romney Rodriguez yeah, I was watching another guy on here, he was saying there may be people releasing pet bettas

[@bettakids9128]

Maybe there releasing other breed betta in the wild?

[@animalfrendo]

Fancy bettas like that are not found in the wild. These are captive bred. They are throwing them in, and then catching them back. If I wanted to make this video, I would have my friend throw in store-bought bettas just off camera so I can catch them right back on camera, making it look like I am actually catching wild fish. Or stock a small pond with fancy bettas, but that might get expensive. A good piece of fiction though.

[@-jupiter-2094]

If you read some of the comments.. this is a natural breeding pond area. Technically because their outside these are ‘wild’ but essentially no their not.

[@guillermodefred7094]

they think PEOPLE are STUPID as they are.....

[@lolaperez5797]

Actually google says betta come from Cambodia in water areas just like that

[@animalfrendo]

@@lolaperez5797 Yes, but they don’t look like that. Do a search for “wild betta Cambodia” and you will see.

[@affanafrorhyncus9803]

he was so careful and always made that silly exclamation sound when he scooped for fish at the spots where his friend had released them earlier, compared when he randomly did the scooping

[@ARandomPanda69420]

you can tell they arent wild because wild bettas dont usually have bright colors

I had a betta when I was kid. I had a lid on the tank but it was just a little cheap plastic thing. I can’t tell you how many times I came home from school and found that sucker on the floor.

[@integrags1]

This is pretty common in South East Asian countries. Bettas are literally everywhere and vendors sell them to locals/tourists so they can release them in streams and ponds as a traditional offering for good luck. I experienced this in Thailand

[@xollyxolly3234]

Those are not wild bettas. They are domesticated betta and looks like you just put them there and film searching again pretending that you caught them just for views

I thought colors were not produced in the wild. Unless this pond was converted years ago

[@kenjiro2676]

Lot's of these fish require years of inbreeding to get such mutations. They likely released a bunch of cull betta fish(those deemed not worth for further inbreeding) into this pond and let them grow out for this video. The result of this kind of inbreeding makes them very prone to tumors and other hereditary diseases.

Technically not “wild” species however if they are raised in a fairly well controlled natural environment it could still be considered “wild caught “ lol. Pretty much the whole point of conservative efforts .

[@betta_360]

Not even close, conservation is for pure bred wild specimens, these domestic hybrids do not need conservation.. there is nothing to conserve because the bloodlines have been all mixed up.. even in a lot of areas domestic bettas are being released and breed with wilds and they make the gene pool no longer pure.. conservation is for these pure wild breed types, like Betta Imbellis, Mahachai, Smaragdina, Splendens, Stiktos, and Siamorientalis.. those are the wild types in the complex worth conserving.
