Description
Betta taeniata is known to display paternal mouthbrooding. Males of the species have more vibrant coloration and broader heads than females. Males also have a darker stripe near the anal fin. The species reaches 5.5 cm (2.2 inches) in standard length.
Range & habitat
Betta taeniata is native to Sarawak and Kalimantan Barat. It has also been reported from Thailand and Vietnam, although its occurrence in those countries is questionable and is likely the result of stray individuals. It lives in wetlands and appears to be restricted to hill streams in forests.
