Betta Sp Satun

[hachge]

Nice fish from Thailand but with no indication if it is the same as B.kuhnei or a new species conspecific

hi
in “Aquaristik-Fachmagazin” of february/march 2010, Jens Kühne writes about betta kuehnei. about betta sp “satun” I resume the content: Satun – village or district – must be wrong. the “origin” was declared by a trader in Bangkok. the author never found b. “satun” or betta kuehnei in this district. there are differences in couloring and body shape, but the hybrids are fertile. he thinks it’s a “populationsvariante”=variation of populations not a species.
comparing the pictures I would tend to “satun”
cheers Charles
