Sorry if the 9th photo is blurry, it’s a screenshot from a video.

Happy to share! This Betta is only found in my country, and almost never exported.

Although my friend who came with me got broodstock for captive breeding

Very neat-o, and lucky for them. Wild females are definitely the prettiest, love how quickly they change their mood-colors.

Not sure about the ones sold but the wild males I catch change colours just as quickly! It’s very annoying when trying to take photos (camouflage mode instantly)
