Why not just ask people if they want a betta instead of putting them in a river where the males will fight and stuff?
Been doing this for morethan 6 years and kids are enjoying to catch them. Every thanks giving day and Christmas I give away Bettas for the kids.
One time I went to the river and was able to catch a neat Plakat.
Oooohhh! There's actually fighting fish in the rivers of PI? Dang. I always get a laugh whenever I see stores selling fancy guppies, gouramis and mystery snails (golden kuhol!). I used to catch them in the canals when I was a kid hahaParents always get mad at me for playing in dirty water. Never seen a fighting fish though!
next holiday, im going to manila!
Beautiful fish Cracker!
Next time you go catching some Bettas (or even release) be sure to take a camera and show us how its done
