nah see with splendens they build bubble nests, these the male holds the eggs in his mouth, so useually has a much larger head, tho saying that it can be hard when there young, as these are, with my simplex i can now make out what is male and female as there older, but these falx, bit tricky at mo.

Hi -Rob-

Once again, another interesting wild species! Where have you been finding them?

It's pretty much the same here, -Rob-. I bought the two wild species I have from a member of the aquarium society I belong to. I was very lucky to have been able to get them.

In the US, Mark Denaro of Anubias Design gets a lot of interesting fish and sometimes has wild bettas.

One of the falx males is now holding eggs too

all while co-habiting with Female splendens in my QT tank.
