What is Dayak?

[Ember]

I just saw some crowntails labeled as Dayak cross ray. Is this a type of betta? I hadn't heard of this before.

There were a few links when I did a Google search but only pics, no description of what it is. Is it a specific type of crowntail?

the only definitions I can find for Dayak are....

Collective name for the various native ethnic groups of the Malaysian state of Sarawak, including the Iban, Kayan and Penan

A Borneo tribe

The Dayak people are indigenous occupants of the Kalimantan region of Borneo. The name, meaning 'upstream' or 'inland', was applied by the mainly Islamic coastal population as a blanket term for over 200 tribal groups, each with its own language and culture. Traditionally, each group lives in a communal longhouse. There are about 3 million Dayaks (est. 2003) on Borneo.The Iban or Sea-Dayaks (Daya) live in coastal Western Sarawak

Never heard of 'Dayak bettas' before... and it's not on Bettatalk or Jim Sonniers' sites.

Where did you see the fish? It might be mislabeled. Or maybe Dayak is the breeders' surname or something...

The Wolf is right. Dayak in betta is just a references of the colors Dayak tribe in Sarawak wearing.
