        Don at ADG had some Betta hendra a few months ago. They were nice.

        There is something
        fishy going on here, and I kinda like it!

          I may need to give Don a ring on the hendra. The first pic is Parosphromenus orinaticuada it's a type of licorice gourami. They get slightly above an inch, sometimes less. They get that fluorescent pink and black when males are in breeding or dominant color. I use to have several species. They will eat only live foods and have to be weaned to blood worms and frozen. Do better in groups. I use to keep them in RO. Best with pH 6 or below. They are cave spawners. The Betta hendra and those in the coccina complex are not to fussy. They do well on freeze dried blood worms and high protein foods ( cave spawners but there are reports of alternative paternal mouth brooding). Unlike the big mouth brooders and the little mouth brooding bettas they don't like current very much.

            I also used to keep licorice gouramis. I also kept Betta uberis, which is also in the coccina complex. Betta uberis is also my favorite betta species.

              In the coccina complex Persephone and hendra are my favorites. But albimarginata is my favorite Betta species. I was going to order some Persephone females from the wet spot this week, but they just emailed me back that their lot got sick and are in quarantine.

                I tried to start a group once dedicated to labrinyth fish. It's a very broad group sizes ranging from the giant gouramis to parasphaerichthys lineatus (barely 1/2 inch). There the paradise fish/Chinese Betta ( macropodus) and in Africa you have the Ctenopomas- bushfish. Some throw badis and darios in the mix. They can give cichlids a run for their money in variety and colors.
