Hi, I just joined the forum and wanted to share a little about the wild bettas I currently keep. I just have 2 wild species at the moment but I’m hoping to branch out, the species I have are Betta edithae & I believe Betta unimaculata, or a species within the unimaculata complex. I’ve had the Edith’s for about 4 months now & the Unimacs just came home 2 weeks ago.
Both species are quite interesting, my female and young Edith’s happily zip around the front and beg for food, the males are a little more reserved and tend to be brooding. Here’s a photo of the female:
Mom and one of the youngsters:
And here is one of the males displaying, sorry the photo isn’t great!:
And now for the Unimaculatas! These fish are absolutely huge and I love them for that. They show very strong sexual dimorphism, the male is darker, the female is lighter and more striped.
And some more photos because I love these fish:
Thanks for reading, I hope you find these fish to be interesting! I love both these species so I’m happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.
