Unboxing my first WILD BETTA FISH!! Betta Mahachai

[@CreativePetKeeping]

*NOTE - DO NOT keep common male and female BETTA SPLENDENS together unless you are breeding and even then they NEED to be separate before/after breeding. You can only keep certain wild bettas together. Some people seem to be gettign confused..so I wanted to clarify* What should we name the male and female? I need some name suggestions! I was going to be very generic and boring and go with Romeo and Juliet :P Check out their BABIES!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIiskpd3h8Z1hs0

[@camcamcarter4741]

Creative Pet Keeping hi😂

[@livinabettadream8114]

Inuyasha and kigome

[@StopTheSound]

I kept male imbellis with female dragon Betta spleden, female imbellis, female mahachai, female smagadina together they don't fight at all 5 months alr

[@anakbuahkapal688]

Tono and tini

[@bghancock84]

Well unfortunately I have 5 female and they always fight. I had to jar them all alone. Crazy girls :)

[@Lifewithpets72]

They’re absolutely gorgeous. It’s amazing the range of colors they display. I can’t wait to see how they progress.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Maybe I can get you hooked on wild types too...Amber got me into them hehe

[@Lifewithpets72]

Maybe!!

[@lifehappens6447]

Wow. They are gorgeous! I agree, you do have to be careful who you get them from. I am picky too. I want the wild captive bred too. Lol. Congratulations! I love them!

[@joeleneheinz4782]

I have one of these guys. I am fortunate to have made friends with a girl who imports from her homeland Thailand. He is absolutely gorgeous. I only have a male. He has one of the most amazing personalities i have ever encountered in a betta. Love him so much.

[@Franksbettas]

im so glad more and more people are getting into wild bettas

[@dumbshtmoto6111]

Hey im in Illinois too. If you are ever in the Springfield area, we have an amazing local pet store with tons of great fish, and usually a pretty good selection of bettas. Its called Nature Select. Thats where i got my Male coil bettas and my female delta betta

[@johnnyau4251]

Apparently not all Mahachaienses pairs can be in the same tank. I recently got a male and female, the male chases the female a lot and i've had to separate them. While some pairs can stay together, I would advise people to get at least 2 tanks for the pair incase the male attacks the female.

[@Magicspells1]

I love them!!! I like the natural look, and that they aren’t so aggressive!!

[@mackenzieferguson4599]

They are looking SO GOOD! Glad they made it okay! Once they've spawned I may hit you up for a few fry :D

[@CreativePetKeeping]

I shall save the best for you! Thanks again for getting them and sending them over to me! :D

[@PassionsJourney]

Super cool! I didn't even know it was possible to get wild bettas!

[@CreativePetKeeping]

There are over 70 varieties of wild bettas.. its super cool

[@yanjijay6752]

Note you should cover the top they're great jumpers known to doing so

[@nik_is_rioting2293]

I had a cover on my tank and my betta jumped out, still dont know how The gaps that allow air were not even 1/2 inch .

[@Sillystring365]

My tank is completely open on top and he never tries to jump out

[@lauracolliton4694]

Sitting here watching an absolutely insane amount of unboxing videos, while I wait on my first pair of wild bettas to arrive lmao

[@amberkendle656]

Oh wow, they are stunning! How cool that they can be kept together! This may be a future tank for me! Lol

[@dimitris.4484]

Intresting the bettas gone from this to the domesticated betta with long and heavy fins.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

It's amazing what selective breeding and domestication can do.

[@MsLinanator]

Look at him flare!!!! So pretty!

[@howlingtv]

Wow they are stunning!

[@partyfoxgames9990]

Ah bettas there the paradise birds of the fish world

[@nres2824]

[@ImmortalSet]

[@cc3kidsl8ter78]

[@hanazawariu]

[@STLFANSS]

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Im setting up a bigger breesing tank for them..I think it will make for a good update video

[@19Suzy100]

[@jackyphuah732]

[@ryanchoi2981]

[@thethingwithfins]

ORDERING PAIR MYSELF IN A WEEK OR TWO!!! Found a guy in the USA who breeds them and is giving a good deal!!!

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Best of luck! :D

[@addhaneshwar1]

Hello kasia... I have huge admiration for your betta knowledge and love for the fish. Learned a lot from your videos and got a pair of machachai and did 1st spawn...i need your guidance on how to grow the fry successfully...Can I keep parents with fry...? It was not that great spawn , i can see 8 to 10 babies... Any help appreciated 🙏 #StaySafe

[@CreativePetKeeping]

If you keep the parents with the fry then expect a lower number to survive because some will get eaten by the parents. It depends on the size of the tank but in anything smaller then a 10 gallon removing the female might help as the male might attack her when he defends the nest. I hope they helps 😀

[@addhaneshwar1]

@@CreativePetKeeping thank you so much...No doubt this s great help🙏 have safe new year...

[@fishkeepercole2464]

When you were talking about the fish being scared if they are wild caught I thought to myself, 'hey my cories are pretty scared whenever I go near them, even after they have been in their tank for 3 months now. Are they from the wild?' I know this is is a stupid idea, especially since I got them from a local pet store here in Arizona, but is this possible?

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Some fish are very shy naturally so I don't think you have to worry. You can always ask the petstore where they got thre fish from.

[@fishkeepercole2464]

Creative Pet Keeping OK thanks for the info and advice. I really appreciate it!

[@alidaali2922]

The betta is beautiful

[@strawberry_2119]

#notificationsquad where you at

[@artiegonzalez1771]

Betta mahachai do best in brakish water because they are found around the cost of Thailand same as swordtails and mollies

[@lolno2509]

wow this was soooo cooool to observe

[@tanawatleelayouva5123]

This is native siam betta fighting fish from Thailand you can find it easily in every fresh clean river or pond in the past but now its very hard to find one

[@catclapped1235]

Yaaay, so happy for YOU!!!

[@MsLinanator]

What size is this tank, what brand, and the salt (salinity) does not affect the plant? So many questions. Thank you.

[@bettascarlosgildemontes9980]

Do you keep the mahachaise female and male together in the same tank ?

[@lacasabetta999]

tarzan and jane : ) or Pahlawan and Serikandi

[@bluerain3897]

AWESOME

[@moschetto58]

Very nice

[@pranavvaidya9552]

Hi mam I just love watching your videos..

[@amragiza]

Hi Kasha nice video .. I was wondering if you have any information about infertile imported Bettas .. I'm from Egypt and I wanted to get a higher grade bettas and try to breed it but I heared that Asian exporters will not allow to breed to keep its high value

[@CreativePetKeeping]

I know that breeding for some colors such as pure black can result in infertile females..but its only limited to a few types. I have only red marbles and those don't have that problem so I will have to do more reasearch on the topic.

[@amragiza]

Creative Pet Keeping thanks Kasha keep up the good work ❤

[@bluebowser3121]

8:39 a lot BETTA

[@nicetech288]

I have two of these male battas wait till.the red starts coming through on his tail stunning fish mine cime up top tank to get petted there so timmed love them

[@Lunadrako]

Where did you get that cube tank? They're so hard to find.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

It was made by a company called Eheim but I think they discontinued making them

[@Lunadrako]

Creative Pet Keeping 😟 that's a bummer, it seems like every cube is super expensive and hard to find. Thank you for answering though! 😁 you're amazing pet lover!

[@kinggame7966]

LOVE

[@fenus609]

why did i never think about you not haveing a wild betta!?! Thats what was missing!

[@rachelkunz611]

I am currently trying to purchase a pair. I have never ordered anything live online before. Also to trust the person delivering something so precious is very hard for me. Any suggestions? I'm willing to pay whatever is necessary to insure safe travels/delivery, and packaging. I just want to do this the smartest and safest way possible.

[@Albedoboods]

finally betta videos yeeet

[@eloyvelazquez9488]

Oml love your video and that Betta fish ❤️😌

[@marcelalopez9053]

It won't stress a lot the female betta have the male betta flering like that all the time?

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Nope, eventually, he leaves her alone (edit* Mahachai only..Betta Splendens would kill each other if living together..just clarifying to be sure as some people are getting the two species confused). Will flare a little here and there but most of the time I noticed that they do their own separate thing. There is always a chance that a male CAN be too pushy with a female ..because some are a little more agressive..some are less.. so if he botheres her too much I will seperate them.

[@courtneypilant3762]

Yes it does. Keeping males and females together is not a good idea.

[@DanhNguyen-wl4yc]

I used to have four, sadly they all died now, wonderful fish indeed

[@santoroaquatics5038]

I love your Channel and all of your pets are cool 😎 keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏

[@petcraz2417]

Is keeping the new wild bettas you got the same as keeping betta splendidness?

[@petcraz2417]

BIg City Bettas, thank you! You seem like you really know your stuff about battas! Thumbs up! Thank you for answering my question! :)

[@petcraz2417]

:)

[@InfinityPets]

I’ve alway really want to keep a Wild betta! I’ve never have had the room for one as they need 5 gallons.

[@udaydas6291]

So nice fishs and tank... can U tell me What is your tank size L/W/H ??

Very nice and interesing video.

[@markusez8403]

where did u get this wild betta fish... Petco???

[@CreativePetKeeping]

I got him from a IBC betta show

[@kiethkith9028]

AWESONE

[@kcslazzie6595]

Finally a new video

[@kaylabrooks1292]

So with this strain being so friendly is it possible to house say, two+ males together? Or a few females? Or even could there be one male one female in a divided tank? My only worry is is that I know I wont have time for if there would be accidental breeding. Is it possible like you said to house different sexes together without the possibility of breeding ever? They're just so beautiful.

[@kaylabrooks1292]

Big City Bettas thank you!

[@CreativePetKeeping]

They will definitely breed at one point or another. Luckily I have a lot of people in my fish club who are interested in wilds as well as other breeders so I have potential homes ready for babies if I get some. I should definitely make an update video addressing your question because its a really good one!

[@kaylabrooks1292]

Creative Pet Keeping Yea, that would be my biggest issue, is giving the fry good homes to. My LFS gives "store credit" for any fish that apparently customers can't take care of anymore but I don't think that would be an ideal situation, seeing as the average fish keeper wouldn't know how to care for this type of betta. I wonder if I had a divided tank with holes for a male/female pair if they would be upset with seeing each other but not being with one another. I'm not sure if that's an ideal situation either 😕

[@agaagayev7321]

pretty girl, pretty bettas

[@danieljoseph9565]

From where did you get it

[@CreativePetKeeping]

International Betta Congress show

[@madaline5156]

Congrats?! I'm going to set up my first betta tank in a while, I used to have 3, and will be breeding a pair - maybe even a trio c; - soon!

[@dragon6irl]

After seeing this I think my biggest girl may have some mahachaiensis in her. She’s very large and has the dark brownish body like these two, but she’s red instead of blue.

[@christopherbronson6827]

I’m confused. They’re wild Bettas, but they’re not wild caught? Are they just captive bred plakat Bettas?

[@Moon_samurai128]

Christopher Bronson no because plakat bettas are still betta splendens. These betta aren't betta splendens at all. They're practically a different species

[@armoredwings4182]

They are captive bred from a species you find in the wild. You won't find the same kind of bettas we have out where this species does. This is the kind of betta you will see in the natural habitat of rivers or rice patties, but these individuals were bred in captivity. They are referred as "wild betta" to to separate them from domestic bettas.

[@pokemonheartgold1000]

Where did you order them from?

[@aquaticanntracey8042]

Beautiful

[@pranavvaidya9552]

I also have some bettas fry but they keep dying after a week. I feed them infusoria everyday but then also they die. Mam can u suggest something about this? Plzzz

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Hi! You need to get live foods like microworms or BBS. Infusoria only works for the first 3 days as they are very very tiny and even then people supplement with vinegar eels as it's sometimes not enough. Your fry are most likely starving to death...🙁

[@cynthiamartinez7089]

Beautiful Bettas I find all about Bettas very interesting. But is there by any chance a Banana Lying around somewhere 😘🐕 I miss her as you are aware by Now she is my Favorite and I Send her much love and Butterfly kisses.Thank you as Always for all you share with us. ☺👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Banana will be in the next video :D

[@00dreamer00]

Do you know where I can get some wild bettas from?

[@00dreamer00]

Manon have your ordered from there before?

[@eliassar1898]

How many gallons does their tank hold?

[@CreativePetKeeping]

This is a 5.5 tall tank

[@eliassar1898]

Creative Pet Keeping thanks I love you!!!

[@isabellamakarewicz6275]

Are you going to be breeding anymore bettas? I really want one of your babies! I have a 20 gal long reserved for one ;)

[@CreativePetKeeping]

I have two spawns growing out right now, I will have to do an update on them soon.

[@DD-qz8jq]

If they’re captive bred then how are they wild?

[@anoukveen4197]

how big is this tank?

[@CreativePetKeeping]

5 Gallon

[@darenshe7831]

they won't attack each other?

[@trinefj11]

Daren She no, she told in video too ;)

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Nope ^_^

[@Matthew.E.Kelly.]

Daren She Along with b. Mahachaiensis, there are several other breeds that often cohabitate with one another peacefully such as b. Imbellis, b. Macrostoma & b. Albamarginata. Great video!

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Normal bettas would attack each other though. I figured I should add that.

[@lashaywingate]

Do you know the best way to breed gold fish good video by there way

[@CreativePetKeeping]

I have actually never owned Goldfish before.. maybe Solid Gold Aquatics might have a video?

[@lashaywingate]

Creative Pet Keeping thanks anyway

[@nicetech288]

Ill post a video of mine soon I'v spitted a KOi betta in the shop by me for £22 so gonna try get him hes so different

[@lovesread1ng]

Where can I go to purchase your bettas

[@CreativePetKeeping]

I will be selling domestic betta splendens on www.creativepetkeeping.com/buy-live-fish I'm not sure if I will sell any wilds I breed online though..
