Betta Albimarginata - Sebuku | Wild Betta Fish

Wild caught Betta Albimarginata collected from Sebuku

From the Betta Albimarginata Complex.

Noted difference from our supplier is that this fish is slightly larger than the type collected in Malinau.

A great beginner fish for someone being introduced to the mouthbrooding betta world. They have more of a maroon or burgundy colored body with black and white seams on their fins. Depending on locality, some may have a more orange body. Their best colors come out when they are the ready to breed.
