Betta persephone "Ayer Hitam"

[Shi Xuan]

A couple of photos of a very young pair of Betta persephone "Ayer Hitam", around 1.5 - 2.5 cm. The photos were taken shortly after they were being introduced to their respective tanks.



Male Betta persephone. This is a rather densely planted tank and apparently, the male prefers refuge among the plants and away from the camera.



Female Betta persephone. The female is a bit more cooperative but I had a hard time trying to keep a good focus, so it ends up as a crappy shot. I have decided not take any more photos as she is starting to feel a bit stressed. As size matters, she's really tiny at the moment and so I have decided to keep her separately.


This is my third attempt with these fish. The first try didn't turn out well. I had a trio of the "Muar" strain and tried to breed them but it's plain silly. The second one, I ended up with a pair of males, each building their own elaborate nests. One big difference this time round is the age of the breeders. Once again, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks. I bought them from Hermanus. I really hope to see them breed. In fact, this is one of my favorite Coccina species. The other one is Betta uberis;

According to Hermanus, he has very limited stock of persephone. The pair was a replacement and as you can tell, is still young. I doubt he would want to sell any now because if it's so, you would have seen them at Sungei Tengah 81.

Looks really good. The water in your tanks looks pristine. All the best in raising them!
