Betta Siamorientalis True Wild - Vietnam - Long An | Wild Type Bettas

Wild caught Betta Siamorientalis from Vietnam

This species closely resembles that of Betta Imbellis but has a darker body and head which is why they are sometimes referred to as the "black imbellis." They can be seen as Betta Imbellis but without the facial iridescence giving it a classic black head. They originated in southeast asia living in still water marshes and ditches. Both imbellis and siamorientalis prefer warmer water. Like all wild bettas, their natural coloration is metallic green

The specific location is Long An.

Wild fish generally look similar, oftentimes they may have torn fins or missing scales from regular sparring that occurs in nature.
