This one is called "betta mahachaiensis". What makes it different from "betta splenden" is that this type inhabits the brackish-water site. During my childhood, I have caught these fish and put Bengal-almond leaves in a fish bowl to make it darker in colour. Really hard to find in the nature.
I say the domesticated Fighting Plakats are the more aggressive ones than the wild types. The domesticated fighting plakats is the only betta breed that is specifically bred not just for fighting, but are also bred for stamina as well for longer combats. Wild bettas tire quickly after a short but violent battle. Some wild bettas will even flee after discovering that his fin was nipped by the opponent. Wild bettas are also skittish than domesticated bettas.
there are 7 different types of wild bettas in the splenden complex group and mahachai is one of them. since splenden was the first found thats was the main name for to complex group and what this guy has is the Mahachai one species of the splenden complex group
These are not female, These are male. Females are lighter in color and these are wild type bettas, not plakat, or siamese. They were discoverd in 01' and its a new speci of bettas. They are from thailand and live in a habitat of a small water off the side of the roads.
IT IS NOT A WILD TYPE BUT IT NOT IN PET SHOPS. ALSO ALL SPECIES OF BETTAS DO NOT FIGHT EACH OTHER TO DEATH. WILD AND WILD LIKE BETTAS ARE MUCH MORE PEACEFUL THAN MOST DOMESTIC BETTAS.
I have had 1 halfmoon betta out of 100 of a hm betta from one of my spawns that look just liike this, but they have sharp 180 degree caudal edges and longer fins. I guess it does not take a genius to figure it out.
Plakat in thai is pronounced Plakad. And its what thai people call Bettas in general. Plakad meaning Fighting Fish so Yes you can find Plakats in the wild
well, if you have male a female in a big tank there will be no problem, some people say that if you have mal n female y better if your tank is very well planted so that your female will be saved
this fish have in malaysia/thai/indo only, price 25cent US or RM1.50 this fish build only for fight, 20 years ago, my uncle have this fish and have a special eye tooth, like dracula. i dont know why my uncle fish have a dracula tooth from below mouth, that only one in the world, now that fish maybe was die.

Its not only Splenden they have more like Smaragdina or Imbelis Or Mahachai
I have one with almost the same colors still young tho
Can anyone tell me any sites that sell high quailty bettas?
That's one sexy piranha Betta hybrid. O.O
females?
is it dancing, to the other
well, if you have male a female in a big tank there will be no problem, some people say that if you have mal n female y better if your tank is very well planted so that your female will be saved
I crossed a male coppergold HM with a female red plakat and the most of the fry turned out like these.
cool yet creepy fish
Good
Those colors on a veil tail or a feather tail will make very very expensive betta breed.
el mejor pez del hijueputa mundo !!!!
ya, man really nice
compare with Betta imbellis and smaragdine , i prefer this type
i have always wanted one...BAD!!!!!!
thats wat i thought too
IT NOT A PLAKAT. IT NOT EVEN A BETTA SPLENDID. THAT LOOKS LIKE A BETTA IMBELLIS BUT THE OWNER OF THE VIDEO CLAIMS IT IS A MAHACHAI BETTA.
preety
that color looks like jack dempse's color
my bettas a baby girl
yeah don't worry.
these fishes are aliens!!
Hahaha same here bro XD
this fish have in malaysia/thai/indo only, price 25cent US or RM1.50 this fish build only for fight, 20 years ago, my uncle have this fish and have a special eye tooth, like dracula. i dont know why my uncle fish have a dracula tooth from below mouth, that only one in the world, now that fish maybe was die.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WILD PLAKATS. YOU MUST BE CONFUSING WITH ANOTHER SPECIES OF BETTAS.
PS:PLAKATS ARE BETTA SPLENDIDS.
Those are fun, I usually only see those colors on the veil-tail's. These look more... reptilian...than fish, lol...
@kee6757 i will have this
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
i have 4
you betta has the color of an imbellis betta, i don't think your fish come from a pure race
these are wild imbellis bettas. different from plakats. they only look like this when they flare, but when they don't they're colorization sucks.
They are not females X)
I DON'T THINK SO.
males oops
this is a mahachai for sure you clearly know nothing of wild bettas
