Another mouthbrooder type betta originating from South Kalimantan in Indonesia. These can be maintained in a pair or a group. Males are generally larger with more iridescent on the body. A second photo shows one snacking on a crane fly that got a little too close. This betta appears to be very peaceful and can be kept in groups.
