Etymology: Betta: Malay/Javanese origin. Bleeker (1850, 1858) indicates Ikan Wadder Bettah as the local name of Betta trifasciata Bleeker, 1849 (now Betta picta, Valenciennes, 1846) in the Ambarawa Javanese dialect. Ikan Wader is a common Javanese name for smaller freshwater fishes, especially cyprinids (already used in Old Javanese). See Blust, R. & Trussel, S. Austronesian Comparative Dictionary.

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 2; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 9; Spine anali: 2 - 4; Raggi anali molli: 23 - 25. Distinguished from other members from Sumatra, Indonesia in the following characters: more anal fin rays (27 vs. 23-25); more dorsal fin rays than Betta cracens and Betta fusca (10-11 vs. 8-9); more subdorsal scales than Betta cracens and B. fusca (6 1/2-7 vs. 5 1/2-6); more lateral scales than B. fusca (31 vs. 29); fewer lateral scales than Betta cracens (31 vs. 32-33); fewer predorsal scales than Betta cracens, Betta fusca and Betta raja (17-19 vs. 20-24); greater head length than Betta pugnax, Betta cracens and Betta fusca (35-.5-36.5% SL vs. 27.5-35.2); smaller predorsal length than Betta fusca (62.7-66.3% SL vs. 68.5-70.2); greater preanal length than Betta cracens (47.8-50.9% SL vs. 42.0-46.1); greater body depth than Betta cracens (26.7-27.6% SL vs. 21.2-24.2); greater dorsal fin base length than Betta cracens (12.4-13.9% SL vs. 10.5-11.6); smaller anal fin base length than Betta cracens (50.4-52.0% SL vs. 53.4-55.7); greater orbital diameter than Betta cracens and Betta fusca (61-76% postorbital length vs. 47-58) (Ref. 56386).

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Found in forest swamp, peat swamp and hill stream.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00376 - 0.02663), b=2.97 (2.75 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
