Everything about Betta Persephone totally explained
Betta persephone is a species of
freshwater ray-finned fish in the
gourami family (
Osphronemidae) of
order Perciformes. First described in
1986 from a population near
Ayer Hitam in
Johor state,
Malaysia,
B. persephone is a rare and elusive species.
This
Betta species inhabits soft, acidic waters of 23‒28
°C (73‒82
°F). It reaches a total length of 3.2
cm (1¼
in). The males are largely blue-black in colour, with the females exhibiting browner tones.
B. persephone has been listed as Critically Endangered on the
IUCN Red List since
1996, as it's restricted to a very small and diminishing area. While a delicate species not easily kept in
aquaria, it has been bred successfully in captivity.
This betta's
specific epithet derives from the
Greek goddess Persephone, queen of the
Underworld, a reference to the species's largely blackish colouration.
