Wild Betta - Aquarium Advice

JDogg · 02-20-2006, 10:10 AM

My LFS recently got a shipment of wild caught betta, I was thinking of adding one to my SE Asian themed Community tank. does anyone know of any special consideration for wild caught betta as apposed to there captive breed cousins??

AFAIK they should be treated exactly the same. I would suspect the wild caught could be more aggressive than captive raised, and he may be more skittish around you at first...not as used to having a human poking around in the tank.
