The Betta Complex:

We are presently working to compile this list of complexes that the IBC have catalogued for the purpose of program breeding and protection of strains of the species.

The list will contain valuable information on types, identification, finnage and specifics for each complex, along with approximate numbers when available, their status in the wild, habitat and breeding if known.

New species of betta are being found all the time, so we will endevour to keep this list as up to date as possible.
