I think these are the mislabelled fish that were identified some time ago. These are licorice gourami. Not wild betta.

Went to Y618 yesterday and saw 2 tanks of wild Betta, any bros have any idea what breed are those? One of the tank selling a package of 5 and the other tank selling a package of 4.
I bought 2 package of the 4, but I totally have no idea of the breed. ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21366906068.192754.jpg

😱 Read up about them. Thanks vannel.
I bought 8 of them, and placed in my community tank with tetras, and plecos.. peaceful fishes, very striking blueish greenish colouration
According to a friend who purchased some at C328 (same batch), he says these are Parosphromenus nagyi.
They are not meant to be kept with tetras or plecos however (different biotope). Similar needs but if you keep them with those fishes, their spawns will not be successful. You have to keep these in a species tank on their own, or with small cyprinids like Boraras, which are just as gentle as they are.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable

Was at Y618 just now, but couldn't find these for sale. Sold out so fast?
Either sold or dead. Two bags of "wild betta" was on sale at C328 yesterday when I was there. One contained the licorice gourami, the other contained an assortment of fish, one rasbora, 2 smallish bettas, at least 1 croaking gourami and I don't know what else.

Bought some Paros labelled as wild betta at Y618 and gotten what i suspect some male and female Betta Imbellis in the Wild Betta bag at C328.
Bag at C328 did contain young imbellis.

Haha then you're quite lucky. They were too small to sex properly. Look so skinny too.

Congras in your newly aquired imbellis. I got 3 from y618. And 1 week late, they spawned. Size may be a bit mis leading.
Just confirmed the female is fertile, spotted a few fries in the tank yesterday.
Today I saw two packet left at c328. By the way, what are you guys feeding it? Read online that it feeds only on live food.

Initially I fed them with newly hatched bbs. Then managed to convert them to take frozen brine shrimp. They also eat frozen bloodworm readily.
Only food i don't feed them is dry food / pellets because they are so small.
I fed my pellets and blood worm which they are more than happy to consume.
Y618 still have? If have, maybe will drop by tomorrow if still have chance. Are they paired?
Fish keeping is not a good hobby unless you received support from your family to keep them.
not sure about that, Stormz. The imbellis is all thrown in the same tank. Have to scoop and sex ourselves. Hit & run, to get how many male or female.
2 weeks back, i netted, 2M n 1F. Very interesting to observe their behavior in my 45 cm tank.
Where was the tank with imbellis located in Y618? I was there yesterday but didn't notice any.
I saw a bag of 'wild betta' in C328 yesterday afternoon but they were all licorice gourami.
Small is beautiful.
