| Housing |
Betta uberis can be housed in pairs, species
tanks, and community tanks. Pairs can be housed in a 5 gallon tank,
groups should be housed in a 20 gallon tank or larger. Pairs should
be given cover such as caves and plants. In a pair or species
situation it is possible that fry could be discovered in the tanks.
|
| Water Conditions |
Betta uberis comes from blackwater environments
and should have soft acidic water that is well filtered. They should
be kept at mid 70s F. |
| Sexing |
Females have an egg tube. Females ovaries might be
visible via spotlighting. Males may be more intensely colored.
Males also have pointed dorsal fins whereas females are rounder and
may exhibit an egg tube. |
| Reproduction |
Uberis is a submerged bubblenester so large leafed
plants or black plastic film canisters are best for giving them a
place to nest. |
| Similar Species |
Similar species would be all coccina complex members.

| Identification |
Burdigala males have bright green sides when colored
up where as uberis do not, both have a large dorsal fin. Females tend
