What other fish do wild bettas live with in the wild?! Re-release fry for conservation of wild betta

Video showing a small part of my conservation work for Wild Betta smaragdinas in my local area with the re-release of 100-200 fry that were bred from parents which we collected last year into their habitat to help stabilised wild population, later in the video we also attempted to see what other inhabitants were living amongst wild Bettas for a better understanding of their environment and potential tank mates.

[@babaluweng5431]

Frank doing an awesome job breeding his alien bettas and conserving the natural state of wild bettas at the same time. Mad props

[@rhombifer566]

🤔

[@steeveedee8478]

'Obviously watch out for snakes & leeches' says the barefoot guy in the pond... Would freak me out paddeling in there like that! He's got some guts.

[@solvegia]

I'd be more worried about pieces of glass or sharp metal in the water. People throw their waste just about everywhere.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

This is really great! I really want to improve my wild tanks and do a better job trying to recreate a natural habitat and this is SOO helpful and educational.

[@Franksbettas]

Thank you Kasia!

[@steventhompson5554]

I don’t have another tank available for another betta. Kasia, have any that would be good in a mixed community setup? Our water should be rather similar

[@Nitidus]

You could become the absolute top Betta channel on KZbin just by releasing videos more often and regularly! The coverage of their natural habitats is unique to you. I would love to see more of this.

[@alteisen02]

Wow, I really love the look of wild bettas! Am I the only one who would prefer wild ones/ natural colours over bred ones?

[@thomaswilding8818]

pH less than 5. Jeepez, tough fish.

[@billschwarz1157]

This is effing amazing, show us more of the water habitats around you. Bettas, Gouramis anything you can find! I have Opalines, Pygmy Gouramis and Splendens (not in same tank lol) and would love to know the fish they would likely coinhabit with.

[@Bearak_]

Frank, first off, thank you for your conservation work. So many breeders are just worried about producing fish and getting their money. With you looking to the future and working to maintain these fish at a sustainable level and further, at a genetically pure level, you're doing so much more the hobby, and we appreciate it. Secondly, I was curious if the pond you're releasing the young adults into is on your private land or if it's public? The concern, of course, being that someone might come along after you've released fish and capture them for their own use. Third (and I'm sorry for bombarding you with multiple questions), do you know what TYPE of loaches they were that you mentioned seeing while releasing the bettas? I'm very curious because I'm planning on setting up an authentic biotope aquarium for bettas (which, yes, I plan on purchasing from you), and I would, therefore, like to include the same specific types of other fish found in that environment. Are there any shrimp or other crustaceans present?

[@Franksbettas]

Its someones elses land and this place is open to people catching but only kids who are just getting into the hobby which does remind me of myself as a kid usually catching doesnt have as a big impact as its not comercial so people just do it to get fish to keep rather than catch to sell so numbers dont get effected at all so thats not a worry. The big worry is since its this persons land they may fill it in at any time, ive alqays thought about saving money and buying it but it would cost much less to build an actual pond for this line on my own land

[@Franksbettas]

[@mezawockee5050]

I'm speechless, this is so great, the environment, the way you respect and describe the nature and the fish.

[@Dr.JJ12]

I remember DM'ing you quite a few years ago on IG about your conservation efforts as a young betta breeder myself. It fills me with joy to see you continue the very much needed efforts of conservation which most breeders do not pursue, you are an inspiration to me and hopefully many other breeders out there.

[@voluntaryismistheanswer]

It fills me with passion and appreciation for the wild species keeping a few aliens and seeing the differences in behavior, they are beautiful and fascinating and I want more, but don't know which species to pursue! Frank, is there a particularly troubled species that conservationists should focus upon?

[@augustvukosovich4683]

Thank you so much for doing this. We need more people like you in this world.

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

This video is gold man. I always struggle to find information on a fish natural habitat when I want to set up a biotope. I hope everyone who is able to access natural habitats of different species of fish would follow your example! Keep it up!

[@fishmanc5357]

@SG Bearded Aquarist Yo! Where you been?! 😁

[@lot5953]

love your video especially when you put back the fishes into the pond.

[@panjimartiandaru3081]

Love your videos! Being able to see their natural habitat and your conservation efforts is really something special. You offer the hobby valuable insight that we couldn't get anywhere else. Keep it up!

Great Video yet again, big shoutout from all the IGL members and wild betta researchers/breeders/enthusiasts from Germany. Your work does so much in terms of awareness for wild and naturally occurring betta species. Would love to get a profile on all the other species in the splendens complex in their habitats or different type localities. Hell, as a huge B. Rubra & B. Macrostoma fan, I would kill for a habitat video, if you are one day in the Indo/Brunei area. Keep it up!

In fact,months ago I added three small Roseline barbs and the two fish looked so much alike they schooled together. Now? no-lol,the Roselines are much larger these days!

lol thats what i have been commenting that betta need shallow water , foreigners keep putting them in big ass deep tanks

[@csillakaszas7285]

Sure, depth has priority over stable water parameters, filtration and temperature... wait...

[@kidwolf0015]

@@csillakaszas7285 Honestly, the answer is to get long tanks. A 10 gallon-long, for example will have about the same depth as a 5 gallon with all of the benefits of a typical 10 gallon. It's just twice as long as the 5 gallon. That's the best type of tank in my opinion at least.
