aparently its a diffrent type of betta to splendis.

the missus and i have inherited a 4 foot tank and we`ve been stuck with what to do with it. untill we picked up pfc today and we saw a story about creating a biotope of a "peat swamp forest" biotope thing.

and we`ve found alot of cool of fish and we think it could be a cool idea, i just like the betta and wanted some info on it but every site i find is in thai or japanese or something

In the wild, maybe Kinda like white cloud minnows?

Anyway, found this listing for coccina on aquabid

You'll be having a hard time looking for the rarer wild type bettas in UK (even here in US). Most of the wild types on aquabid are from Asia, so... Goodluck!

EDIT: Here's the other listings for the other wild type bettas more aquabid

(I hope I'm not breaking any rules here by posting url )

hehe i made a mistake they are only extinct in in malaysia

I was going to say. . . . .

I got a pair from a singapore supplier last month but they're caught wild so I would suggest some heavy reach, getting the tank ready, and get ready to spend tons of $$$.

Go on aquabid.com.

Good luck!

Try Britains aquatics they occassionally have the wild betta variety, I bought a Smaragdina from them recently.
