Wild betta habitat exploring and collecting the emerald betta smaragdinas conservation process

Exploring a natural wild betta habitat that Betta smaragdina inhabits in my area that I breed and re-release the fry to in my old video, this video was a fun video to show you guys their habitat and how they're caught and what other fish and animals live amongst them.
I usually collect and breed these guys to re-release yearly but I've not had the chance to do so in awhile so I'm taking you guys on the entire process in how I privately conserve the species in my area!

I would love to get I wild betta because I’ve been on the hobby for some years and I think they are the most beautiful fish ever, they are my favorite. Getting a wild betta from you would be an honor, because I really enjoy your videos, your work and your love for the bettas. Keep it up frank, you’re great :D.

[@MetaPrivateReserve]

Love the content man keep it up!

[@xWEKSOSx]

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Very inspiring I would to go to Thailand and fish with you. But I'm glad I can live the experience through your videos. Keep up the great work! Your vids and photos are 🔥🔥

Beautiful finds as usual, I wanna get back to breeding splendens after a long stint with mouth brooders

Hi, i would like to own yellow copper imbellis. It looked so perfect. The reasons i like to own a wild betta because it’s different ,unique and sleek.

[@01straightshooter]

The fact that Mr Frank releases them after breeding made me choose to buy some from him, outstanding quality and very pleasant service...... keep up the good work bro

[@ashbriarwolf]

I absolutely love getting to see their natural habitat! All of the different plant, insect, fish, arachnid, frog, shrimp, and crab species are so interesting. I feel like these wetlands are underappreciated for their beauty and biodiversity. Thank you for all your hard work in conservation and raising awareness! Wild bettas are just so beautiful and unique.

Love seeing betta in the wild and seeing all the other species in its natural habitat.

[@c00kiecat46]

I adore wild bettas, especially the copper aliens. They have such distinctive pattern and shape that’s unique and fascinating. I could spend hours just staring at them. I have been eyeing them for a while now, I have both the space, equipment and knowledge to care for one and really hope I can get the chance to own one someday.

[@FamiliarOddlings]

Wow seeing the tress right in front of the fish house! So wonderful! These fish look magical!

Oh my! That leech! And he went right back in the water! Thanks for the tour-so interesting-made me realize I need a larger tank and more plants! Thanks!

[@michaelskang]

I came to know Frank and his conservation efforts since a couple of years back, and I was convinced that he was doing good to the environment and especially for the preservation of the pure wild betta line, which had been endangered due to the extensive cross breeding done by the ornamental fish industry. One strong appeal of Frank’s project is that he does not only manage to preserve the wild betta lines, but also produces specimens with excellent qualities, as you can readily appreciate from his social media pages. These are some major reasons why I’d always love to keep wild bettas, and especially those coming out of Frank’s project. Thank you Frank! Keep up the good work mate. :)

[@TheA7xmax]

Since getting my first wild type betta im totally addicted to these guys! Love how reflective their scales are and their range of colors is also something that got me into them!

[@ejc8465]

Straight from the wild, I think that these bettas are stunning.

[@drixxmarlo5398]

I really love your determination for the conservation of wild bettas. Heaps of support mate! Hopefully your project will be a huge success. Cheers!

Wild betta, they have their own beauty..reflective scales and how their color can drasticaly change.. I really love them ❤️

[@landgiraffe7002]

Love seeing the wild Betta’s in their natural habitat and would enjoy having one to experience their natural beauty in person!

[@zachz5369]

I love seeing wild betta species in their natural habitat. Usually they are so inbred that they have many health issues. I appreciate you for your conservation efforts; breeding within the same species and keeping the bloodline strong. In my opinion, wild bettas look better than the one’s you would see in a commercial pet store. The coloration on these guys are awesome!

Hey Frank. I'd love a wild betta! I just got out of breeding apistogramma this passed year and would like to have a wild type fish to fill that 10 gallon. I absolutely love these videos, the conservation efforts you put into these fish is truly inspirational, its got me interested in endangered species in my local area and the conservation efforts put forward by my municipality. You are truly an amazing human being with the care you give for these small fish where governments etc just care about expansion and $$$. Thank you for everything you do for Bettas and the aquatic community.

[@MrsBJPalmer]

It is so cool to watch these extraordinary bettas in their natural habitat!! Then to see them color up and the males flaring at each other-in the same tank, is just amazing!! Thank you so much for all of your hard, leech filled, work!!

no problem Im glad I can give everyone an insight into their habitat and behavior!

There is just so much diversity in wild Betta species. The Betta smaragdina group is my personal favorite. It combines my loves for cryptic species discovered via genetics, paternal care in fishes (and associated behaviors), and the beauty of the natural world.

It would be really cool if you could catch some of those minnow-like fishes, try using a net made from mosquito netting - it worked for me in Africa.

Nature astounds me and brings emotions that I struggle to define.
