if you're leaning away from a regular domesticated betta, why not put an imbellis in there?

they look nice. i have'nt really been looking yet.but i will keep them in mind.

there are a few differences in their care than domesticated splendens, i know there are some members here who keep a lot of wilds who could give you the specifics, but my understanding is that they're no more difficult, just different. i've personally been wanting a few for myself (due to their docile nature, it's possible to keep them in tanks together provided there's enough space, cover and the ratio is at least two females per male)
