How does a wild betta biotope looks like?

**leeruisheng** · 13th Dec 2007, 23:22

Hello people,

I might be interested in setting up a wild betta tank that mimics their natural biotope, but I can't seem to find any good resources online? Can anyone help? Thanks alot.

Cheers

which species? Some live in peat swamps, others in fast-flowing streams, weedy pools or tiny puddles.

Go to google, type the following into the Search box, plenty of pictures there...

BTW, http://www.ibanorum.netfirms.com is the website of Michael Lo, who regularly shares his trips here in AQ

Yup, seen this before. I think the link's on all of Michael's post. That's why I was so attracted to more of Sarawak's photo. I think it's all because of Michael. Hahaha!!

I would love the idea of someone organizing a trip there next year like what Jeffrey proposed. But I am not confident about my schedule. *Sigh!*

Hi Budak,
Thanks for the links.

Now there's a link to Johor and I was thinking that's quite near. Can we go there sometime over the weekend? That'll be fun. Anybody knows the way?

Not sure, but intend to setup one general wild betta biotope tank and then wait for interesting betta that comes by. But it seems to me that a wild betta biotope looks very similiar to an Amazon cichlid biotope.
