Description
The Ibanorum Betta is a mouthbrooding Betta species originating from the blackwater streams of Borneo. They prefer soft, acidic water conditions and a heavily planted tank with plenty of hiding spots. While males can be territorial with each other, they are generally more peaceful than many other Betta species towards other tankmates.
