Burdigala vs. Uberis

[teos]

Hi,

I would like to find out any obvious physical difference between the above species of fishes. Apart from the 'wider' dorsal analogy which to my untrained eye, looks pretty much the same.

warmest regards
John

From my limited experience, I believe uberis have the lateral spot similar to brownorum/coccina while burdigalas dont.
Perhaps the more experienced Betta keepers here can help you out a little more! : )

B.uberis have a greenish sheen when coloured up ,B.burdigala don't. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

[Emokidz]

Yes. I noticed that on my fish as well. burdigala seems to lack the green sheen though it has green irids.

(My apologies to teos in advance for the off topic post)
Hi androol, I'm afraid I can't pm you too as the option to do so isn't available. What's it about?

[androol]

U have cocinas for sale?

[Emokidz]

Hi! Yup I do. But they aren't sexed so I'm not sure how to pair them up haha!

[androol]

do you put them all together or something?

[Emokidz]

Yes I do. Most of the coccina complex members can be kept together without problem. Kind Of peaceful.

[androol]

Until now still cant pm.. Are you selling them?

[Mudskipper]

On the topic:

Burdigala males have bright green sides when colored up where as uberis do not, both have a large dorsal fin. Females tend to be a bland red with egg tube.

As mentioned on the IBC page for Betta uberis:
