Betta brownorum are some of the most beautiful wild betta species. A male in spawning condition is scarlet red, with a bright green spot on his side. Closely related to B. coccina, this fish is somewhat less common.
Betta brownorum is a primary bubblenester, which typically builds small surface bubblenests, but under some circumstances, may mouthbrood (particularly if there is too much flow in the tank). These fish spawn regularly and easily. Brownorum are a somewhat delicate fish.
As with all wild Betta species, care should be taken to ensure that the tank is securely covered, as these fish may be fairly jumpy. The lid should not be air tight; Betta are air breathers, and will die if they cannot gain access to fresh air. These fish are best maintained in a small species tank, but may also be an interesting addition to a planted aquarium. They will mix well small, non aggressive fish, such as slower moving tetras and rasbora, small Corydoras (e.g., C. habrosus or C. pygmaeus), Loricariids, and the like. Ensure that these fish are not eating all of the food -- Betta tend to be slow, methodical feeders.
