Betta sp. Satun is an undescribed species new on the norwegian market in 2009.
Betta sp. Satun is particilulary interesting as there is little information to be found in the internet, but it may be that this is a Betta thriving in hard water. It is not listed at IBC, but IGL/IAA has the species listed on their 'bestandsliste'.
I have so far only found a few articles about Betta sp. Satun: "The Siamese fighting fish: Well-known generally but little-known scientifically", published by Science Society of Thailand. Here Betta sp. Satun is briefly mentioned. ... we wish to mention the little known B. sp. Satun which is a less colourful mouth-brooder of southern Thailand. Its habitats are easy-flowing rivers in the hilly landscape northeast of Satun. It has glowing and vigorous turquoise green on the lower head. It may belong to the B. pugnax complex.
And a german article "Den Hartwasserfischen der Gattung Betta auf der Spur" from zza-online.de, about some Bettas of the pugnax complex tha lives in hard water rivers in Southern Thailand.
Horst Linke writes about the species, and that it gets about 7cm, in Betta News 4/2008.
A new species Betta kuehnei (Schindler & Schröder 2009), was described in august 2009 and is conspecific to Betta sp. Satun. |

The new species belongs to the B. pugnax-group and can be distinguished from the other species by a combination of the following characters: a round caudal fin both in males and females, absence of a second postorbital stripe and a comparatively short second central stripe (joined with central stripe above anterior part of anal fin)."

New croaking gourami species? Trichopsis sp. 'Waser Hua Hin' |
|
Monday, 25 May 2009 00:00 |
|
Horst Linke is writing in Aquarristik Fachmagazin 206 April/March 2009 about a possible new species of the genus Trichopsis. Trichopsis sp. 'Waser Hua Hin' has some striking similarities to Trichopsis schalleri, but Hua Hin is located more than 400km further south than previously known locations of T. schalleri in Thailand. It has been discovered by swiss Alfred Waser in an biotope in a small area in Hua Hin, which unfortunately is threatened by tourism-driven property development.

Betta rubra has been rediscovered after allmost 100 years in the unknown, and is now for the first time available in the hobby. Hopefully this new and beatifull litle mothbrooder will be available in our latitudes. The price is still sky-high (6-7000 kr), but this price is expected to decline when the species is bieng breeded and the location is know and the species can be collected.
