Betta Imbellis - Thailand | Rare Bettas

Betta Splendens Complex.

IUCN Red List: Least Concern (Not a concern at the time IUCN last updated)

This betta can be found in various areas of asia, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam.

This is a quality Betta Imbellis pair from a reputable breeder from Thailand. Beautiful coloration, especially on the cheeks. All males come from the same lineage and are generally similar.

They have a dark gray/brown body with long flowing fins, green iridescence on their body and fins with the Imbellis being most well known for the red teardrop shape on the anal fins. Like all wild bettas, they are naturally metallic green.

These fishes are sometimes hybridized with other species to bring out better colors and finnage. They are aggressive by nature and males should be kept alone unless you are breeding them.

NOTE: for ebay buyers, yes you can combine fish for shipping and other shipping options are available. Please PM us for more information
