Cheers,
This is one of the 2 B.rubra displayed at the Bettaclub booth in Aquarama '07. Pardon my photography standard. The other piece is not well taken at all so I dare not post it up. Anyway, this piece looks like a male to me.
I am hoping some kind souls who has photographed them well to post here and justifies for these species. B.rubra is last seen in around 1993, now I am honoured to see it being re-discovered in 2007.

I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
My apology, benny. I've uploaded the picture into my gallery and reload the image. Hope you all can view it.
The colour of the rubra haven't really shown out much, probably it is still young I guess.
Thanks Ah Zhan!
I've always had a soft spot for wild bettas. It's good to see the Betta Club dedicating a section just to show case them. Previously, Betta Club was just about show bettas and their focus was on color and finnage of the breed species. I think it's a long overdue change and a good one in the right direction.

Nice selection of wild bettas at the BCS booth, but what got my attention was that tank full of "freshwater brine shrimp". They are most probably fairy shrimp instead. But interesting nonetheless.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
brine |brīn| noun water saturated or strongly impregnated with salt.
Freshwater brine strikes me as rather impossible And i couldn't help but notice the distinct lack of B. pugnax. You'd think the local betta club would have a local betta no?

Welcome benny.
In fact, several members like hwchoy and your photographs of various wild bettas is half the reason that I got interested into wild bettas. The other half of the reason, of course, is happen to witness these fishes personally in lfs like Eco-culture.
Nevertheless, there is still a pair of B.Rubra dwelling in the Great Hall..and the pair look kind of special in terms of colouration and such. Let's wait for Azmi to post picture and show us his prized possession-- B.Rubra lor.
