We found in the same place : Blue Trichopsis vittata, trichogaster tricopterus, and big snails. the water parameters were 210µS, pH 7,25, T°C 26°C at 9 am
I have a lot of fry of those imbellis for Dijon they will be good.
So interesting to see their natural biotope!! Amazing fishes!!
if it were not for the color red in the caudal and anal fin are identical at betta mahachai!!:blink: :ohmy:
very very nice fish!!!;) :)
Yes Betta imbelli and species mahachai look the same, there is the red fin in te imbellis and the shap of the caudale fin in the species mahachai,diamond shap.
Outstanding population!
And, as always, great pictures!!!
Thanks for sharing! :)
