a group of conservationists in Bintan released captive bred f1 Betta Miniopinna back into the wild, assisted by their impromptu Betta Pugnax supervisor. Needless to say the Pugnax was absolutely vital, and no one could have done it without his watchful eye, and him inspecting the transport container very closely afterwards. I don’t know what the conservationists would have done had he not been there to aid in the reintroduction efforts.
Betta Miniopinna are incredibly endangered betta in the coccina complex of bettas! They are a very delicate species very closely related to betta persephone. Betta Pugnax on the other hand are a least concern species, and get massive compared to Miniopinna.
These species live together peacefully, and don’t recognize one another as competition. No Miniopinna were at risk of being harmed during this.

I spent a week trying to net my Betta out of the tank to treat finrot, but as soon as he saw the net he would dash into the tiniest little crevace of the tank, I tried playing jugs in the tank with food hoping he’d swim in, no luck.
Today I’m doing a water change and he swims directly inside the jug I use to the empty the water and nearly take him out on accident.
Interesting!
