Hi togehter,
Before a couple of years, one found in a biotope in Thailand a fighting fish that one found so not yet.  Since then there are some theories what this is for a fish and should incorporate like one it.  The one consider it to be a form of Betta smaragdina, however far away the original distribution zone and with distinguished to the conventional form of the emerald fighting fish.  Many one holds named that to its discovery site Betta sp.  Mahachai quite only for a wild intersection out of different types of the Betta splendens form circle.  Established this becomes to cross different battle fish forms with the practice current in Thailand among one another and/or to stop into different biotopes.  The discoverers of this interesting and beautiful battle fish again hope discovered a new type to have.  How also always, Betta sp.  A fish, that is find becomes Mahachai probably also in Germany more and more lover.  

The animals come from thickly grown-over waters in the area of Mahachai, a small place south of Bangkok / Thailand.  The water level is not - like at many maze fish generally usual - very high.  Because of the vicinity to villages and industry plants, all kinds of dirt in the water, z. T swims are. the discovery sites also swampy.  Nevertheless one finds hides there Betta sp between a Palm type and aquatic plants.  Mahachai.

Hi together,
yes this betta form is a very beautiful, but the biotop is lost. Where you could find Betta mahachai the last years, there are today a lot of industrial companies.

Betta sp.  Mahachai possesses blue green brightness barns, according to illumination with more shares blue or green.  Tail fin and anus fin are colored in addition in a red tone.  The males become about 6 cm long.  The females are somewhat smaller and not so intensively colored.  My feminine animals possess only a couple of few green brightness barns.  How also at other representatives of the Betta splendens- group it is to be held advisably only a male per basin.  Several females can be maintained thoroughly together.  At least at my animals, the man is very peaceful to the female.  To be sure there are enough ambush possibilities, but previously I was not able to experience it yet that the female had to withdraw out of fear of the man.  Quite the contrary, as soon as the female in the 60er-Artbecken comes into its visibility field, it presents its most beautiful colors and to lead tried it to the foam nest. 

I find a foam nest by the way permanently in the basin.  Shortly before the spawn, the nest is expanded once again.  The female supposes a dark coloring, gets steps the along strips usual also in other Betta types and the Laichpapille forth.  Only the belly is somewhat brighter.  The Betta sp.  Woman looks at now also often the foam nest, entirely as wanted it its usefulness review.  The man impresses the female and to attract tried it to the foam nest.  It later comes about a day then to the pairing.  The male surrounds the female beneath the foam nest.  Initially it concerns can observe fall only certificate pairing, first later one like the eggs after below.  After a couple of seconds, the male solves itself in order to gather the down falling spawn.  The female swims yet about 10-20 seconds such as dead at the water surface before it can solve itself out of the spawn stiff and the male helps. 

After a couple of minutes step both to the next pairing act.  Per spawn act are brought - after my estimations - around the 3-10 eggs into the nest.  At the same time condition one unusual show both.  Until the nest with wobbling fully is can an entire day well pass, at which themselves the animals pair seen of short interruptions repeatedly
