    This is the reddest and nicest patterned mac I've ever gotten. Female also beautiful.

    I saw a pair at C328. They arrived together with the apistos 2 weeks back. The pair of Maculata is still there!

    This one is from green chapter. Bought 2 pairs.

    Also have another pair from C328.

    Genes is the D. maculatus wild? Saw it and it looks good.

    Re: Betta macrostoma

    Wow ... they look gorgeous. I saw a pair at Midori when I went there and thought they some colourful snakeheads...hahaha. But I've heard they were difficult to keep, so I've been kind of scared of the prospect of getting a pair.

    Re: Betta macrostoma

    i thought apisto is easier... and a lot easier to spawn if compare to macrostoma...

    Re: Betta macrostoma

    Having kept both for some period of time, I'd have to agree. Although apistos are choosy in terms of food and they get into fights; so many other things can kill a macrostoma- temperature, internal parasites, fungus, fighting, JUMPING OUT, jumping into a fan, getting stuck in a pipe, etc. The list is long. -.-

    Chey, scare me more. I'll stick to my current collection for now. Better read up more before even thinking about this one.

    Re: Betta macrostoma

    Then I've different a experience. Maybe better luck with wild bettas. My apistos are more easily suspectible to internal parasite. Always have been able to keep macs for a much longer period of time. For both species, I would say both easy to spawn and both easy to eat fries or swallow eggs.

    Alot of the accidents could prevented. I think it's about the setup.
