this is my log for my wild caught imbellis pair. i just introduced the female(also caught from the same source)into the breeding tank with him. Wild imbellis will only have full color and comfortable to spawn if the tank has plants and deco inside. I learn this by observing and experience i also learn that ever betta species mahachai, imbellis, show bettas ect... the male will attack the female no matter wat. Sometimes depending on the aggressiveness if the male. i tryed putting the male imbellis in a jar with IAL for conditioning but his color had faded untill i put him in the big 10g tank with plants and deco his colors came back. He started building his nest after 1 hour of introducing female to him. I am also breeding another pair of imbellis too. This pair is second in line. I will take pictures or videos of the spawning session if im there that the right time
This is the video of the conditioning pair
