Ok folks, here is a shot of the Siamorientalis.
Only 2 people in the whole United Staes have these, myself and Setsuna.
Here is The Siamorientalis a.k.a The Black Imbellis!!
These were wild caught by Pibk Penang and sent some to Setsuna and I.
We may or may not be selling offspring there are things we need to
discuss as of this writing.
from what little i've heard, isn't this species incredibly rare in the wild and being overdriven by imbellis, splendens and imbellis/splendens hybrids in its wild habitat? if so you should definitely try to breed them as purely as possible in case they go extinct in the wild.
Very nice.. I would maybe get in contact with Gerald and see about adding these to his program he has with another endangered species- Betta sp. Mahachai. People breed them to help establish a good population for enthusiasts to try to avoid so many being taken from the wild. Maybe you and Setsuna could start a program similar, or work together with him to help start up a good breeding base from your guys' fish.
I would be interested in helping the population like with the Mahachai - hoping this summer when the program restarts up to get a pair to breed, giving all the fry to the program that will give them to other breeders. I would be interested in helping this species too if given the chance.
I have a few coming...I have those and mahachaiensis. I am so excited! Should be here around Tuesday. I will post pics when I have them in their new homes.
