They are lovely! Just Googled them and found out they are wild types and pretty rare. Just need to find me a pair now!

If you wanted the smaller wild mouthbrooding species you could also have Albimarginata, Channoides I've got both and they are lovely dark red species and only require a 2 footer.

I dont know where your location is but jobysbettas (wolverhampton area) has some breeding now, ready for pickup next month i think. Contact her, I do believe she can post them out to you also. I have had bettas from her before and she comes highly recomended from me.
