Betta Documentary or Books?

Are there any detailed documentaries or books about bettas? All I've found so far are little books describing how to care for them. I already know how to. I'm looking for something that will show me the beginning to the modern bettas. I want to see the wild betta in their natural habitat to the selective breeding to today's wide variety of bettas.

 

I will dig thru the library here and see what I can find.
I believe I have something along those lines.

 

Ditto, I can find you links to online betta history articles if youd like?

Nope, I've already read those. I want something that's more intensive with more photos or videos. Basically, I want the 'behind the scenes' stuff.

 

Like this?

Review on the book in the link pslam posted seems to say its something along the lines of what you want

 

I found two books that maybe what you are looking for.
Both, however, have some age on them


All about Bettas, Walt Maurus, tis older than you are, but gives a look at where bettas were at in the 70's.

Labyrinth Fish, Horst Linke, covers a range of fish, not just bettas, but goes into detail about wild fish.

If you are interested in borrowing them, just let me know. I can ship them as late as Saturday.

 

"The Dino Library" that would be awesome 0.0

 

300 books, 1000+ magazines just on aquatics, another 200 books are land plants, and I have lost count on the amount of fantasy/science fiction, but know it is over 10,000 books.

I have a hard time doing anything in a small way.

 

Yes, please, Dino! I'd appreciate that very much!

Kind of, psalm, but only two pages on its history? However, that looks like a good book to read, regardless, to learn more about the different varieties.

They really ought to make a documentary... I'd love to see a betta in the wild... swimming in its natural habitat.

 

What kinda betta? Just a wild splendens?

 

Pretty much.

I had a link once of bettas in the wild. Just have to remember where I posted. LOL
