Belontia hasselti
Malayan Combtail, Combtail Gourami
This species, known for its distinctive comb-like dorsal fin, is often kept by hobbyists thanks to its resilience and striking appearance. However, it can assert dominance in community tanks, so monitor interactions with other species. Providing a well-structured habitat with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming areas will simulate its natural environment and contribute to its health and coloration. Routine tank maintenance ensures water parameter stability.
