Betta edithae
Betta edithae is a species of gourami endemic to Indonesia where it occurs in Kalimantan, Sumatra and the Riau Archipelago. This species grows to a length of 8.2 cm (3.2 in), and can be found in the aquarium trade.[2] The specific name honours the German aquarist Edith Korthaus (1923-1987), who co-discovered this species with her husband Walter. Walter is honoured in the specific name of another species they discovered, Betta foerschi.[3]
