Photo above is a male Betta smaragdina.This an extremely beautifull wild betta unfortunately it is rare species from Thailand. It is also rarely sold in singapore ornament fish retail shop, but i manage to get a few pairs ( from Clementi Blk 328).
B. smaragdina's can grow to 6 cm in length. The male & female look alike and brightly colored but the female's anal fin is shorter and the masking are not as much as male's . Like betta splendens (those fighting fish sold in aquarium shop ) , they build nest bubbles on the water surface. It prefers soft water , lots of floating plants to hide and temperature of about 28 degree celcius
It's habitat is in stretches of water like paddy fields, small ponds and marshes between clumps of plants.
