Wild Caught Betta Macrostoma (Brunei Beauty )

Betta Macrostoma 
Origin: Brunei, Malaysia; Sarawak; in springs in Mulu National park.
Requirement: 
PH: 3.0-5.5
Temperature: 24-26 degrees.
Rare Rating: 5 STARS

For Your Information: 
Betta macrostoma can be housed in pairs, species tanks, and community tanks.  Pairs can be housed in a 20 gallon tank, groups should be housed in a 40 gallon tank or larger.
Water condition is actually not that critical as macrostoma is very tolerant with water chemistry and thrives in any kind of water as long as it is well filtered and clean.  
Males are usually more colourful than females.  Males are brilliant black and orange to red when they are breeding.  Females will have two lateral bands which the males don't have.  
REMINDER: DO Not try to smuggle the fish out of Brunei as macrostoma is protected by the Sultan of Brunei. They have corporate punishment in the country for in possession, try to catch, or to keep the fish in a tank in Brunei. 

Selling Price: RM400 per pair
