Betta Brownorum - Sibu | Wild Betta Fish

Wild caught Betta Brownorum from Sibu

From the Betta Coccina Complex.

Male of this species has an intense red with a green iridescent spot on the body and longer anal fins while females have shorter finnage and less intense coloration.  The difference we noticed with this location is that a few have a much larger spot than other brownorum locations we've encountered.  Absolutely beautiful.  Spot size varies but I'm sure there can be some in their offsprings.

IUCN Red List: Vulnerable (Threatened and facing a high risk of extinction in the wild)
