Betta livida is not considered a beginners Betta and is best left to keepers with a few years of experience under their belts. Lividas’ water requirements (explained below) require a bit of knowledge to maintain water parameters under unstable conditions, particularly if the Betta livida is wild-caught.

Betta brownorum is found on the island of Borneo, where it is limited to the southern and western regions of the Malaysian state of Sarawak. Which extends from Sibu southwest to Kuching and onwards as far as Matang, with a few populations across the border in Kalimantan Barat (West Kalimantan) province, Indonesia.
