The spotfin betta or Brunei beauty[1] (Betta macrostoma) is a species of labyrinth fish endemic to the island of Borneo. It generally inhabits pools of very slow-moving water along rivers and streams in very shallow waters of 30 cm (12 in) or less. This species grows to a length of 6.7–10 cm (2.6–3.9 in) in the wild[2], and is occasionally found in the aquarium trade; in captivity this species regularly reaches 10.1 cm (4 in) in length.[3][4][2] It also has a rectangular body.[2]
