Haha! Indeed, I think betta are really beautiful and personable fish.

Yeap, they might be Betta uberis but for a while, it's really difficult to identify. It's simply labelled as Betta sp. Pankalabun?? Nice species too but no wild betta species for me now. I fear the betta bug taking over my limited tank space.

Yup, after doing some research on various sites including the IBC website, Betta sp. 'Pangkalangbun' is actually Betta uberis - it was named Betta sp. 'Pangkalangbun' prior to its formal description and was thought to be a cariant of Betta burdigala - which was also formally known as Betta burdigala sp. 'kubu' to differentiate it from uberis (previously pangkalangbun).
