Betta pulchra. They look practically identical to Betta pugnax, but evolved to live only in such hostile habitats.

B. pugnax on the other hand are found in clear flowing hillstreams. Usually neutral or even alkaline

Currently, I have 12 Ember Tetras. I donated my 5 Sterbai Corydoras to the aquarium store as they had outgrown the tank. I have added 2 pieces of driftwood and will add more almond and guava leaves for stronger tannins. Next month, I plan to add 8 Pygmy Corydoras.
