Wild Betta of Malaysia

Recently i had the opportunity to see myself the real Betta kuehnei, one of the newest species described. According to my friend, the collector, he caught it some one north Malaysia to South Thailand, Saton area if im not mistaken. It does look pretty similar to the pugnax group members, but one differences were the blue mask on the face and some throat marking, which until today, im still blurred and confused. haha..

Here's some close up photos of the newest betta, the Betta kuehnei!

Besides kuehnei, he also have a colony of wild Betta stigmosa, from Terenganu.
