This thread will show multiple species of Bettas. There are many more types than are commonly available at your fish store, and many of them are little beauties.
We'd love to hear and see any wild type Betta's you may be keeping now or in the past! (Google pictures used)Betta AlbimarginataEndemic to the island of Borneo, where it is only found in the Indonesian province of Kalimantan Timur. It inhabits the shallows (5 to 10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 in)) of forest streams amongst vegetation and debris along the shores. This species grows to a length of 2.8 cm (1.1 in).  Betta AntoniAppears to be endemic to the lower Kapuas river basin in the Indonesian province of West Kalimantan (Kalimantan Barat), Borneo. Inhabits the upper reaches of clear, flowing forest hill streams where it can be found in quieter marginal zones and still pools which typically contain a mixture of leaf litter, gravel and rocks. At some localities the water is stained weakly brown with humic acids and other chemicals released by decaying organic material. The dense canopy of branches above allows very little light to penetrate the water surface and marginal vegetation also tends to grow thickly in the areas where the fish are found. Reaches 4.5-5cm  Betta ApollonThis species was collected in hill-streams strongly shaded by forest; mostly found in shallow water close to the shores between roots, plants or leaf litter. Some specimens were also collected from the swift flowing area between boulders.
