Hi all just though i would stick up a few snaps of my new wild Macs.
 
 
Finally after all the waiting and setting up i collected the fish from my other holding tank today
 
They seem to be doing great in there and no signs of stress and are out and about swimming.
 
The male has been showing off to the female since i let them go into the tank after acclimatising them.
 
Man do i love this fish how beautiful the male is and he is some show off

Very nice pair!!!  I wish I could get a wild pair.  They are just more money than I want to spend at the moment.  I have a trio (2F/1M) capitve bred Macs at the moment.  They spawn but like most people's, the male swallows not long after so no fry     .  Hopefully with yours being WC, you will have better luck.

Thank you yes i am getting all ready for when they spawn i will separate them and hope it works out.

Gorgeous! I've never seen any wild bettas until recently while looking in a magazine. I really like them and yours are very pretty! Good luck on the breeding!

Beautiful fish! Are they expensive where you live? I saw them at my Aquarium shop for $350 a pair...I don't think I'll ever own them at that price!!

I paided 385 dollars for mine if i convert it but i hear there is a new source in the wild now where they have found allof of fish and have been offered a few pairs for 260 dollar each a pair.

Lovely fish, they look settled in their new home.
 
How interesting I was just going to start a topic on Betta Brunei Beauty and see your topic.
 
I saw a pair of these recently in my LFS and found them quite stunning.  They had been bought in to order and were £115 for the pair, would that be considered a good price?
I read in the article above that where these are sourced from, Sarawak, is to be destroyed - such a shame we destroy such beauty around the world.
