Betta rubra "Aceh" juveniles ~ 1" $50.00 for the group

This is an absolutely stunning species, and they are easy keepers. Mixed gender group containing both males and females. Group is of 3 fish (1 group available). These fish were bred here in the USA in our tanks and will tend to be even hardier than their wild caught counterparts. They are pure strain "Aceh" strain Betta rubra with no cross-contamination with B. dennisyongi or B. rubra "Toba Lake". The males develop beautiful deep red coloring and a large spade tail, while the females turn rosy in breeding color.

Photos are of adult fish from our tanks. The fish you receive will be 1" - 1.5" long and should achieve full adult coloration at approximately 2" long.

Message us or see our website to purchase.
