Description

.

Photos of the actual spawn.

It was thought that Betta macrostoma, the Brunei Beauty, had been extincted decades ago. It was rediscovered in 1981, in the waterfalls in Brunei Darussalam. This rediscovery excites aquarium fish collectors, hobbyists and researchers around the world.

Betta macrostoma is one of the most beautiful, the most unique wild betta, from Brunei (and Sarawak), on the island of Borneo. Unfotunately, their natural habitat is being invaded by human, the specie is likely to be endangered in the near future.

Though betta macrostoma is not being endangered as in CITES definition. The specie official status is now Vulnerable, which is protected by the Sultan of Brunei. In Brunei, it's prohibited to be in possession, try to catch, or export the fish from Brunei. Violators could face corporate punishment.

Betta macrostoma life span is 12 years, but there were a mac breeder reported that his mac live 14 years old, and still breeding at that age.

I guarantee against Dead on Arrive (DOA). Should any fish arrived dead, contact me within 2 hours, and email me a clear picture(s) of the dead fish inside the unopened bag within 24 hours. I will schedule to ship replacements fishes from the same spawn at buyers' shipping cost. No refund for DOA. I do not honor the DOA guarantee for second or third delivery attempts. DOA only cover for First Delivery Attempt.

Due to USPS Express charge base on weight and distant. It wouldn't be fair to for someone from CA to pay the same s/h fee as someone from NY. So buyers pay actual shipping/handling cost for USPS Express. The shipment would be up to 4.5lbs. Box sizes would be 12"x12"8" with 1" thick styrofoam, include heat pack if it is not warm enough to ship macs.
