Betta picta is a small freshwater fish with rows of dark spots on its body. It lives in streams on the island of Java and belongs to the labyrinth fish that can breathe air.
Betta picta differs from other bettas by noticeable spots on the body and less aggressiveness. It helps maintain balance in nature by eating insect larvae in tropical streams.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
