Betta tussyae is a species of gourami endemic to Malaysia where it is only known from Pahang. It is an inhabitant of peat swamps. This species grows to a length of 3.7 centimetres (1.5 in) SL.[2] The specific name honours Tussy Nagy, the wife of the Austrian aquarist Peter Nagy, because in 1979 this couple were the first fish collectors to import this species into Europe.[3]
