You could become the absolute top Betta channel on UA-cam 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.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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!
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.
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?
Wow! Just found your channel. So interesting seeing how they are raised in other countries. Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I like how passionate you are about caring for them.
Nice video Frank! So cool to see they can be so vibrand of colour in the wild too. And just seeing them in the wild and the work you do for them is really cool! 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!
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 job mate! Thank you for showing us these unusual pictures. There should be more guys like you to show us the habitats of all fish we try to keep. Could make the keeping much better and more natural.
I have that Rasbora..bought them almost two years ago and yes,they like stay where I have a Syngonium with its big root system in the water and the plant above..its a big aquarium and those little fish are near perfect schooling and darting. 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!
Amazing job!!! Super cool to see all the different fish as well! One question if that's okay! Do the wild type bettas need any different care than the domestic ones you find in petstores?
Keep up the great work! Maybe can invest in a gopro for underwater footage, which adds a whole new dimension of visual content to your channel. Cheers! :)
Great video bro ... absolutely enjoyed watching and learning from it. Thank you for sharing your work with us and thanks for conserving the wild bettas. You Rock!!😇🤘
What an amazing video! Very informative and inspirational. 🐟🌱🐠 Do you see nerite snails in the wild betta habitat? If so, are the shells healthy? I love having a planted aquarium with botanicals but I wonder if it’s healthy for nerites? Thank you again for a great vid - stay safe and well 😁
Thanks for the awesome work you do to preserve the natural numbers! 🙌 I have a commercially bred Betta in with some Corys and a Bristlenose, and I’m looking to set her up in a tank more suited to her liking. (And also to be able to move some of my incessantly breeding shrimp into the big tank.) This video helped give me ideas!
@@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.
I saw this on creative pet keeping.I'm glad to have found you. I'm getting ready to binge watch your videos. Really interesting!♥️ Hope you are safe and well. Much love from Portsmouth Virginia!
It's so nice to always watch your videos Frank Bettas...I admire wild bettas...but I am having quite a hard time identify males from female wild bettas...Any checklist to keep an eye on during gendering wild bettas? Thanks in advance Frank.
Deine videos sind toll und mach weiter so. Ich liebe deine Kampffische es sind die schönsten der Welt viele liebe Grüße aus Deutschland Dank Aquaowner bin ich auf deine Videos gestoßen
Please keep making videos this like. I'm from California so there's no nature around me whatsoever. Being able to see and learn about the fascinating creatures and nature surrounding the place you call home is very intriguing to me.
I'm crazy for loaches!! I keep 15 different species and want more..lol I am so curious now what loaches you have out there, I assume spiny loach and syncrossus species? Don't give up on trying to catch some!!!
@@Franksbettas yes the chulabhorn loach!!! These are amazing species and really cool your able to get to see them in natural environment, they are banned from export and I'm guessing are highly endangered from habitat loss although I'm not sure what you are seeing out there first hand.... either way they are so cool!!!
@@Franksbettas sweet! Was wondering maybe they are TOO small, you know? Fish food 😂 those red tail rasboras look about the same size as a betta so wouldn't be a concern with them but those guys are so so so small. Lovely!!
I just discovered your channel and subbed. Cool vids! I can't get banana leaves in our climate, do you think strelitzia/crane flower (which is related to banana) leaves will work? I have plenty of these in my garden. The leaves are similar.

Can you export wild betta into india
Hey, which part of Thailand are you at?
Frank doing an awesome job breeding his alien bettas and conserving the natural state of wild bettas at the same time. Mad props
🤔

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

@@Franksbettas Awesome! That's so good to hear. Thank you!
Wow, I really love the look of wild bettas! Am I the only one who would prefer wild ones/ natural colours over bred ones?

pH less than 5. Jeepez, tough fish.

Thank you so much for doing this. We need more people like you in this world.
love your video especially when you put back the fishes into the pond.

I live in the USA, used to breed betta splendid in my home so I've always wondered what the fishes' natural habitat would look like, thanks.
wow i love it that you're doing conservation work.... thanks for doing it in behalf of all the hobbyists who want to do it, too, but can't.

The best video I have seen for a very long time! Amazing job mate! Had no clue wild bettas live in habitat like that :)
Thanks for sharing. The fish look great. Returning them to the wild is a noble thing to do.
The video was perfect. Keep up the good work with the Betas and videos. They are very informative.
Thank you!
Great job mate!

Fantastic! I always wanted to see the natural habitat of these beautiful fish. Keep up the great work!
Such a nice project and such nice videos. It gives me some hope for the world! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for these videos. Hobbyists here in the States always wonder how the habitats really look. Great job and thanks again!
Very Awesome!! 🏆
Thank You for what you're doing to help with conservation. 👍

I want more of this stuff, great video, great work
This is how I want to retire, with some chickens too.
Right! So peace and giving back to mother nature.
away from viruses and able to self sustain!
@Alpha Centauri yes, some people just doesnt appreciate the presence of viruses...
The catfish on the video is Ompok sp. , possibly O. krattensis or O. bimaculatus.First time here, love the channel..
Great video and beautiful fish! Loved hearing about what you have going on at the farm and seeing you get out and collect
Well done to u bud keep up the great conservation work
Love those red tail rasboras!

Definitely saving for one hehe
I'd recommend the Akaso EK7000. They're as good as Go Pro Hero 6, but like $50 USD.
I'm on my second one, lost the first in the ocean.
Lovely! Good luck for future endeavours from India.
Nice job my friend Franks!!!
Watched a ton of fish vids on here... 1st time seeing something like this...thank you. Subbed.

Nice video , ive see those rasboras at fish shops sold as brilliant rasboras theyre beautiful!
The sound of the jar rotateing on the glass table....i love it:)))
U have big heart and hardworking. Keep it up bro
Amazing how much life is in those unassuming little puddles
Amazing work Frank!
Wow your pronunciation quite impressive. Kudos to you.. Keep on uploading 👍
Thanks for the great video! UA-cam needs more videos like these. And now I want to go to Thailand and catch and breed Bettas lol.
Good job, brother. Love your content.
Always watch your videos big fan from India 🙌💜
Great vid Frank! Thanks for posting!
Cheers,

Thanks Chris!
lol thats what i have been commenting that betta need shallow water , foreigners keep putting them in big ass deep tanks
Sure, depth has priority over stable water parameters, filtration and temperature... wait...
@@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.
sdq sdq Not all foreigners put bettas in big ass deep tanks. Some of us do our research, want what's best for the fish. And do what is right.
This channel is awesome!
Great Job!
Love the random ompok catfish! Pretty sure it was an ompok siluroides
My first Betta was named frank ❤️ beautiful red Betta
Wonderful job man! Thank You for that!
Great video fella and hello from wales 🔥🔥🐲
Oh u cleared my doubt , I was wondering whether I can put the banana leaves in aquarium water, thank god I watched this video , subscribed and liked
They are naturally wonderful and beautiful even they don't posses glowing colours.
I saw this on creative pet keeping.I'm glad to have found you. I'm getting ready to binge watch your videos. Really interesting!♥️ Hope you are safe and well. Much love from Portsmouth Virginia!
Great content frank. Your editing was fine dont worry about it .. did you keep some back incase that habitat is lost
I always have this bloodline in new habitats ive made yes!
Great video thanks for sharing and caring. You are braver than me going barefoot 😜👍🎈

Hi English please
very cool and useful video, thanks
anyone have a scientific name for that catfish he found?
A baby Wallago of some sort, maybe?
looked like a baby wallago attu

Have you lived in England before?
Lol his accent I thought the same
New sub great video
Good job !
Hi Frank, is this your compound? So then you can protect it from being missused.

Yes! Ive kept those before with these

Didn't see the location in the description, or in the video. Looks almost tropical?
