🐡 FOTM JuiceBox52 - April 2026 Fish of the Month Winner(Bettas)

[connorlindeman]

We have a winner in Fishforums.net
August 2026 Fish of the Month Contest
We had 5 awesome fish entered in this month's FOTM contest but only one could win...
And the winner is.......

@JuiceBox52

Let's all congratulate her

Here's the winning fish and its description​

This is my male betta antuta (the blue one)
He doesn’t have a name, but he is one of my favorite fish. He is pictured here with his mate, Peanut Betta the Second.

Antuta are mouth brooders, meaning they don’t create bubble nests like the more common betta splendens. Instead, the male keeps the fertilized eggs in his mouth for safe keeping until they hatch.

They have successfully spawned a few times, and I’m looking forward to seeing them produce more little betta fry

They are kept in a heavily planted 20g

P.S. I am taking name suggestions for him! Give me all your creative ideas

No need to apologize at all. Family always comes first. I hope your grandmother is doing okay and that everything settles down for you soon.

Congrats @JuiceBox52! Amazing photo, what camera did you use to take that?
