Betta antuta (“Antuta Betta” / “Masked Betta”)

Betta antuta is a spectacular and highly sought-after member of the Betta unimaculata complex, originating from the cool, clear highland streams of Bulungan Regency in North Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo). This undescribed species inhabits oxygen-rich, flowing waters within the Kayan River system at elevations of 200–600 meters—very different from the still, tannin-rich environments preferred by many other bettas. Males display a brilliant metallic blue-green facial “mask” paired with large, dragon-like scales that flash vividly under light. Their scales can show impressive iridescence, shifting from deep blue to metallic copper depending on angle and lighting. The body is typically brown to bronze with variable sheen depending on locality. Females exhibit a warm orange to brown glow along the underside of the body and may occasionally show subtle iridescence around the head. This locality is called “LP,” and it sports some of the most beautiful Betta antuta we have imported.

Size:
Adults reach approximately 9–10 cm (≈ 3.5–4.0″) total length, with males growing larger and developing a broader, stockier head due to their mouthbrooding role.

Water parameters:
This species is tolerant but thrives in clean, well-oxygenated water with gentle movement.
pH 6.0 – 7.5
GH 4 – 12 °d
KH 2 – 8 °d
TDS 100 – 250 ppm
Provide moderate flow, caves, driftwood, and floating plants to diffuse lighting. Subdued lighting enhances coloration.

Temperature:
22 – 28 °C (72 – 82 °F); cooler temperatures are natural for this species, while slightly warmer conditions often promote spawning and intensify male coloration.

Food:
Carnivorous.
Provide live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, mosquito larvae, bloodworms, and small earthworms.
They will accept high-quality pellets and dried foods once acclimated.
Gut-loaded insects (fruit flies, crickets) may be offered occasionally.
Live foods significantly improve coloration and breeding condition.

Tankmates:
Best kept in a species-only setup.
Both males and females can be aggressive toward their own sex; pairs may coexist but must be monitored.
Their large size means they may prey on smaller fish that fit in their mouths.
Provide ample hiding spaces, caves, and driftwood to break lines of sight and reduce aggression.
Ensure a tightly fitted lid—this species is a powerful jumper.

Breeding:
A paternal mouthbrooder.
Courtship involves color intensification and fin displays, followed by sequential spawning embraces.
The female initially gathers the eggs and transfers them to the male, who incubates them in his mouth for 14–21 days.
Disturbances may cause premature release or loss of eggs, so stable, quiet conditions are essential.
The male releases fully formed fry, which are large enough to eat baby brine shrimp immediately.
Provide the male with high-protein foods and rest between broods to maintain health.

Important note:
Because Betta antuta originate from specialized highland stream habitats, careful, slow drip-acclimation is essential.
Maintain clean, oxygen-rich water with stable parameters and avoid sudden shifts.
Provide a covered aquarium with humid air above the water surface.
Though not yet formally evaluated, this species’ habitat is increasingly threatened by logging, mining, hydro projects, and agricultural runoff.
Breeding this species in captivity helps preserve it in the hobby and reduces pressure on wild populations.

Revisiting Childhood Story
Format: Hardcover
When you look back on your childhood, are there unresolved feelings? What happens when you look back on your life to reflect? Daphne Fuller is our main character in this new novel by Ann Patchett. Jonathan, her husband, is very observant and can’t help but notice an older man following them on a visit to the Met. Imagine Daphne’s surprise when she discovers that the older man is her former stepfather, who was married to her mother for only a short time when Daphne was nine. Eddie Triplett was a favorite, though, and she adored him. It was also during this time that she experienced a very pivotal point in her young life. Now in her early 50s, Daphne and Eddie get reacquainted and remember how much they enjoyed each other’s company. It’s natural to wonder what her life would have been like had Eddie stayed involved. Daphne finally learns the truth about why Eddie and her mother divorced. Ann Patchett is one of those writers who make storytelling seem effortless, and I enjoy her books and the characters she creates. As Daphne reflects on her life, her husband heads back to his childhood home to clean it out after the death of his mother. Both are grappling with childhood memories and family dynamics. There is a pivotal story about a horse called Whistler, but this is not a ranching story. This book is filled with characters and families who love, make mistakes, reconcile, grapple with loss, and live richer lives. Thank you to Harper for my gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

Classic Ann Patchett: A moving family drama
Format: Hardcover
Ann Patchett’s new book WHISTLER is literary fiction in its purest form. Rather than a plot-driven story that goes from A to B, she writes about everyday moments in a way that makes the reader relate. Her stories are an in-depth study of humanness, of our shared experiences and our limitations. Much of this story is told in flashbacks, revealing a 1980 car accident involving MC Daphne and her stepfather Eddie; and here we learn the significance of a horse named Whistler. Daphne is an English lit teacher at a girls’ school and Eddie is a literary editor, so I loved their discussions. Surrounding these two are a host of unique and interesting characters: Daphne’s husband Jonathan, her birth parents, and younger sister Leda, a clinical psychologist. Although facts are related, the meat of the narrative is what the characters think, feel, fear, and regret. It’s a story about family relationships and the long-lasting effects of events and words for years afterward. It’s about the power of our memories. There’s something about Ann Patchett’s witty and perfectly crafted prose that grips the reader. She has an extraordinary ability to tell a simple story, highlighting human experiences in such a way as to make it an introspective venture.

Not good if you need Whole Foods gift cards
If you want to buy Whole Foods gift cards (which is why I got it) it flags it for fraud and doesnt let you. I was told you can spend at Whole Foods but not buy WF gift cards, even though it is a Prime Credit Card. Also if you buy WF gift cards online, you dont get the rewards since its from a gift card company and not Whole Foods.
