Revealing the Life of Betta Fish in Their Natural Habitat 

As a fishtuber thank you for this amazing movie and showing their natural habitat so people can see they need more than a "bowl".

"They can not stay in a small space forever" THANK YOU OMFG THANK YOU

You should 100% keep making short documentaries like this about aquarium fish and their origins. It would help inspire and educate new fish keepers around the world. Would love to see videos featuring koi fish, guppies, goldfish, flowerhorns and more!

I recently got my first betta and i never in a million years would have anticipated how much I would bond with a fish. Every time i go up to his tank he gets so excited and does a little happy dance. Makes me laugh and brings me so much joy every day. Thank you so much for creating this little documentary and showing the world that these little babies need to be protected 💜

As a fishkeeper, I couldn’t be happier to get a documentary about such beautiful and underrated little creatures.

When i was 10 to 14 y/o, i love finding betta in swamp behind my late grandma house. Those day, it very easy to find betta,just put a dry banana leaf in milo tin and put it in shallow swamp. U leave it about a day then u come back, u know u got a betta when that milo tin full of bubble. Mostly i get imbellis and pugnac if u lucky, u get hipposiderus. I really miss those day.😢

As a Thai, your work was so invaluable. Conserving nature in Thailand right now is very difficult because there is very little support from the government. They do not know their importance. Even if they support conservation, they still preserve it in the wrong way. such as supporting breeding but did not preserve their habitat. Anyway, I love your content so much and if you want to make more content in Thailand again. I would like to suggest to work on the endemic species of limestone mountain ecosystems in Thailand, such as Bent-toed gecko and Limestone babbler. I would really appreciate it!!!

Wow I just came back from my wife hometown in Borneo, and the first thing i did is go to the forrest like this and found multiple species of wild Betta fish. Not everyone can understand but it was really amazing experience, its like dream came true for me. I wish I can documenting like this, but this is an amazing works you’ve done. Thank you for this video ✨

I almost shed a tear watching this documentary, I’ve adored Bettas and the labyrinth chambered fish species.. this is such a beautiful, unique film dedicated to fish that often don’t get the homes they deserve, insight like this is so heartwarming and beautiful. Thank you so much for this incredible piece of art

This is genuinely one of the most well made youtube documentaries I think I've ever seen. You definitely deserve more recognition.

I never would've guessed we would get a documentary about betta! thank you

this is so amazing and high quality! i didnt even know where bettas in the wild were situated and that some are going extinct. this has brought awareness to me and its highly under appreciated! ❤

Absolutely spectacular. Thank you for showcasing Betta in their natural habitat, I'm sure it will serve to inspire many hobbyists to create their own renditions of Thailand in their aquascapes, and thanks to all of the locals as well. It was kind of them to share their knowledge and love for Betta where many wouldn't and I hope enthusiasts put it to good use - they might be the only hope of conservation of Betta mahachaiensis.

Wow ! First time to see wild Bettas in a video. Other videos really sucks! They just tossed a bunch of domesticated Bettas in a river, telling that they are Bettas in the wild! Lol. They don't realized how beautiful wild Bettas are, their habitat and the challenges they are facing. Truly a magnificent fish and I hope they will be protected and be saved from extinction! ❤️

At last, a documentary about the betta that I've been craving. Amazing work, thank you so much!

Fascinating. I hope the Thais save the wild variants. Thailand is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Stunning country.

Im a betta breeder and making content about betta , i really love the way you made this documentation❤❤❤more power

This is the type of content everybody should watch before starting to take care of living animals.

How the heck does this channek only have 1k subs!???? THE QUALITY IS AMAZING

I've been keeping bettas since I was 6 and I love every bit of it

I really appreciate seeing the biological work and passion, of people from their own countries. Makes me feel like we’re all trying our best, to understand, learn, and protect.

This needs to be shown to anyone and everyone considering getting a betta fish because it will immediately disprove any myths that negatively impact the bettas care (like the puddle myth- do people even know what a puddle is?????)

wildly underrated, the production quality is crazy!!! i love this, please keep up the great work ❤

Brother, the production value & editing of this video is awesome! Good luck to reach 1M views soon.

It is a crime that this channel got a very small subscriber with this quality videos With love from another Thai betta lover

I'm a long time betta lover. This is by far the best documentary about wild betta I've ever seen. Thanks for making the video

Thank you for the documentary about betta fish(fighting fish) in Thailand. The origin of the betta fish has few colors. But Thai people develop and mix breeds until new colors and patterns are created. and the betta fish have a pattern with the colors of the Thailand flag. 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭

Amazing , awesome work

Beautiful doc! Cant believe how stunning some of the shots you got were, bless youtube for recommending this to me

Absolutely amazing video work!! I can't believe you got such good footage of breeding bettas in their nature habitats without scaring them off. I can't imagine how long this video took you to film. Did you really film, edit, and produce this all on your own!? The quality and narration is really on par with full hour long documentaries. Amazing work, this is really insightful and it's something I've always wanted to know more about. I'd love to see a behind the scenes of this and know what else you're working on.

Thanks for all the hardwork for our aquarium hobby and nature❤🎉

this man deserves more subscribers, thanks for the amazing video man

Prolly most of us didn't know there were these kinds of bettas too . And this documentary shows a good quality information about bettas and their habitat and originating places. Hope these beautiful creatures don't go into extinction. Thanks Rodrigo for such good informative content ❤🫶🏻

So professionally done on a species that needs to be looked at commercially. Awesome

I need a 12 episode show exactly like this pleaseeeeee 😭🙏🏼

This has to be one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Beautiful and mesmerizing.

Wow, this has to be one of my favorite videos about bettas yet. So informative and gave me such a better understanding of how they live in the wild. So unfortunate that they might go extinct.

I hope the conservationists continue their noble effort. Hopefully Thailand government support this.

I loved this mini documentary! Very good beautiful video shots of betta fish, their wild counterparts, habitat etc. I have been keeping bettas for years and they are amazing little fish. Narrator did a good job as well.

First time I saw someone make a documentary on betta❤ FULL SUPPORT

Such a well produced video! As a fishkeeper that started with betta fish, it is awesome to see a documentary dedicated to betta fish ❤

I didn't know any of this. What a beautifully filmed documentary. My heart breaks for the betta fish who are threatened by urbanization and draught. I sincerely hope that there will be significant conservation efforts.

my favorite fighting fish.. they're so beautiful.

This video quality is truly excellent with brilliant narration, videography and overall production. This video clearly hit the algo jackpot but for good reason, this quality of work will surely bring you great success and I look forward to what you produce next! Easiest subscription ever

This was such an amazing piece, I grew up collecting Bettas but somewhere along the way lost interest in these little guys but I will forever appreciate the memories of them ❤ it’s also really sad seeing that a species of them are becoming extinct..

After watching this video I had to admit my eyes becomes wet. I'm glad thanks to this video I can remember that my childhood is actually very colorful and happy. When I was 10 - 15 year old I'm used to catch this fish after school, exactly like those kids at the end of this video using plastic basket borrowed from my mom(secretly without permission), and a little plastic bag. Along with my little brother and childhood friends of 5 almost every day catching these wild betta fish right in my backyard where there are swampy sago palm tree clusters. Sadly those sago palm trees are already gone turned to housing complex nowdays. Paddy fields where we used to fishing and catching snakeheads and guramis and finches birds also shrinking turned into housing complex. Along with other activities we used to do was stealing tropical fruits like mangos, rambutans(lychee like fruit), soursop, coconut, and destroying hornet nests using catapult. What a naughty kids we are back in the days. Types of Betta Fish we used to catch are Betta Splendens and Betta Imbellis, but we are in West Kalimantan province of Indonesia (Borneo island). So my guess is someone in the past must have introduced these fish brought from outside our island as pet fish and then some released to the wild and thrives. Thailand Betta are very popular for centuries all across South East Asia. My guess is that Thailand Betta must have been introduced by Chinese migrants to Borneo island, as myself is 6th generation ethnic Chinese born and lived in West Kalimantan province of Indonesia. Now I settled in capital metropolis Jakarta in Java island. Borneo island also had like a dozen types of wild Betta species but they are mostly mouth breeders, not foam breeders like Betta Splendens and Imbellis. Mouth breeder Bettas shaped like snakeheads with bigger mouth and wider jaw and rounded body, not like gurami shaped Betta Splendens. Some species as big as a thumb and some as small as Betta Splendens, they are less colorful but some species still looks strikingly beautiful and unique, example Betta Macrostoma(bigger) and Betta Channoides and Betta Albimarginata that looks like colorful snakeheads (try Google it). I had to admit that my childhood is happy and very colorful like those fancy small Betta Fish.

This makes me cry again😢..my last Betta just passed away this week and I cherished my babies so much for many years..

Awesome research work and the video quality ❤ can’t imagine the amount of work you need to get the perfect shot of the bettas underwater 😍 really enjoyed the whole video 🎉

The voice of the person speaking is so soothing 🥹🤲🏽

me gustan los peces betta! 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

I love these fish, and I learned a hell of a lot more from your amazing video. Thank you!

Thanks for making this incredible video. I can only imagine the amount of research and logistics that has gone into making this incredible documentary. Congratulations!

I got my first betta fish, a fiesty Plakat 3 months ago. Took best care of him as possible and seen him grow. As a pet lover I've had dogs and cats babies for as long as I can remember. I never knew I could bond so much with a fish that I went to the pet store and got 3 more yesterday: a crowntail, double tail and halfmoon to add to my collection. I love them so much! What an intelligent animal

Talented videographer.. Nicely portrayed the life cycle of betta fish

This documentary is so interesting 👍

Great mini documentary on this fabulous fish....great job. Big shout out to those individuals willing to put their time and effort into conserving these amazing animals.

Thanks for this cool video! I used to live near a shop that imported some of these wild type betta. It's nice to know more about these little fish and where they come from. I hope the Thai people can find a way to preserve their habitat

This was really fun to watch, and I thank you for spreading knowledge on these beautiful fish that are so misunderstood!

Everything about this video is simply awesome! Well done! Beautiful cinematography and the narrator is so peaceful, love her voice! Good decisions all around :)

I'm 24 years old and I have been in the world of bettas since I was 5 years old. I have raised, read books and research on the subject and I can only say that this documentary is MAGISTRAL!

Such an incredible documentary, thank you so much!

Man you’re an inspiration to me. Glad I randomly came across your betta video on Instagram reels!! I love fish keeping and film making like this. You should do more series on better and other tropical fish and where they come from!! Great work!!!!

Really amazing video.... It deserves a lot of appreciation and people need to be aware about their environment and look forward to sustainability and not just go on demolishing the environment for their own needs, each organism has its own right to live and that's what is needed to be respected!

This is an incredible documentary, thank you for creating this and sharing with us!

This is fabulous and really appreciating ❤

This was an amazing documentary, learned so much about betta fish

This was great! Love seeing more about the stories behind the modern betta.

incredible footage. thank you for your hard work!

Great work very happy to watch this project ❤

I've been researching and learning how to properly care for these spectacular fish and it's nice to know their origins. I truly hope their base breeds are given the attention and conservation they deserve. I wish I could help breeding efforts but I'm still a beginner. Hopefully someday.

Amazing DOCUMENTARY film! Thanks for quality footage, entertaining, informative & inspiring!

Makes me love my betta more

Amazing little documentary and story-telling.

This is gorgeous AND so informative. I could listen to these fish experts talk forever. Thank you for sharing!

I have 5 bettas. Now I am very mesmerized about their family and habitat. Thanks for this video. Interesting video too.

I had a pure wild betta. I caught a male one in the swamp. I gave him the best food and tank before it died to old age. I wished he lived long because I groomed his color to be more vibrant. Miss him already. he was the most beautiful fish I ever have.

This was a beautiful video. I just recently got into bettas and this was something special. Thank you

Wow, the nesting is so good to watch. It's my favorite part of the video! Great shots too.

What an amazing, beautiful story. Thank you for sharing this. I don't keep fish and don't know anything other than Betas are beautiful and I feel very sad for them to be put in tiny bowls with nothing but water. I appreciate learning about them and pray for their protection 🙏🏽

Stunning, fantastic video.

wow such high quality and well researched content - how is this not a million view yet. Thank you for making contents like this - it's rare that we have proper short documentary about bettas

amazing documentary, must be an high effort making these videos, thanks, it deserves much viewers

Congratulations! Amazing! This videos are really important to people understand how fast this small species can disapear.

Thank you very much for this documentary, I love Bettas and it's a pleasure to see there real habitat.

This is shines a beautiful light on such an undertreated and undervalued (in many cases) fish. I had a wild betta Smaragdina a couple years back and I miss my boy so much

This is the video I have been waiting for since a child with out knowing it thank you!

Amazing. Every aspect of this documentary was amazing. The shots, the edits, the narration, you name it. I think the narration had a big impact on how I perceived the film. It was really good.

Amazing documentary it’s a great way for the public to find out where there betta originated from , amazing ❤❤❤

Thanks for the great documentary! Much love from Singapore. ❤

This is really an excellent documentary. You’re hitting all the important points about the origins of the betta, as well as their needs in captivity, and their ecology and conservation in the wild. I’ve been waiting for a documentary just like this to come into being, and now I’m so glad it’s here. Thank you!

Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭

Is amazing and magnificent to know and see them from such detailed ways of their wild life. Never seen these before, Praise your hard work, May you be more successful in your goals. #savebettafishes
