Hi, i'm a beginner. I have not been successful yet. Can you e-mail me @
crush344@aol.com for some tips. I love The bettas!

I am an AAGB /IBC member interested in keeping smaller types of wild 
betta species - I am particularly interested in maintaining the Betta 
coccina type species which originate from the peat swamps in South East 
Asia (primarily Indonesia and Malaysia). I am also interested 
in small mouthbrooding Betta species from these areas. I am currently 
maintaining the following species:

Betta tussyae "Rompin" 
Betta brownorum (populations from "Matang" and "Sibu")
Betta burdigala "Kalimantan"
Betta livida (popluations from "Tanjong Malim" and "Tanjong Karang")
Betta coccina "Jambi"
Betta foerschi "Kubu"
Betta persephone "Ayer Hitam"
Betta dimidiata "Kuapas"
Betta simplex "Krabi" 
Betta picta "Java"
Betta pugnax "Kuantan"
Betta pulchra "Pontian"
Betta waseri
Betta imbellis (populations from "Ko Samui", "Marang", "Rantau Abang" 
and "Sumatra")


Obviously, I don't have fry of all the above species available at all 
times, so, I don't provide lists. If you are looking for something in 
the above list, please send me an email - offers for trade are 
always considered, provided they are for fish I am interested in. Sorry, 
I cannot accept any international orders due to problems with the Post 
Office. 

At present, I am looking for pairs or trios of B. coccina "Muar"

I am also interested in getting old articles, books and papers on wild 
Betta and anabantoid species.
