Received a pair of Betta albimarginata and they are very active and calm. The black and white fin patterns are beautiful. They seem to get along well and are easy to care for. A great choice for a first betta pair.

Perfect for a small aquarium. The pair stayed together and showed no aggression. The coloration is more natural than some common bettas, and they seem happy in their tank.
