Teku

Betta akarensis is a paternal mouthbrooding labyrinth fish from Borneo, collected in Brunei and the Malaysian state of Sarawak. It lends its name to the Betta akarensis group of closely related species and is considered one of the more widely distributed Bornean Betta. Most are collected from blackwater, though it also lives in clear flowing streams, roadside ditches and larger ponds.
