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.

Great glitter body spray
Color: Fairy-Diamond, Color: Fairy-Diamond
So cute. Came with extra glitter, I’m assuming lipgloss you can make into glitter lipgloss, a funnel to help pour the glitter. Or re load your spray. The spray performance is nice. Might stick better with some oil before hand? But I like it so far. Worked 6 hours and still had glitter on me for my photoshoot. I sprayed perfume and then glitter. There’s no odor. The amount of quantity of glitter you get seems good for the price. Durability seems good so far but like I said may need some oil or lotion first to help it stick all day.

Troll glitter
Color: Brandy-Rose
Do not spray too much! This glitter is so fine that it dispenses easily from the puff part and you can easily make yourself look like Poppy the troll. We had so much fun with this for prom

Glitter with staying power
Color: Rainy-Rainbow, Color: Rainy-Rainbow
Super fun and sparkly, the color is beautiful, it comes with 2 glue tubes with brushes that you use to rub the glue onto your skin in order for the sparkle to stick better and longer, made a heart shape on my arm, dries fairly quickly and washes off easily when you're done with it It sprays a fine layer and evenly, it's great for building on for more sparkle or to just have a light layer Even without the glue it lasts at least a couple hours with minimal shedding and light use, seems to have good longevity With 2 glue tubes, a refill tub, funnel and the glitter spray bottle I feel $10 is a great value considering everything you get with it, Overall I feel like it's a fantastic product and will buy again!

Decent for the price.
Color: Rainy-Rainbow
The color is pretty, the bottle seems to be working well for now. The atomizer pump is so cute and makes me feel super dainty and girly! I love the xtra refill, the funnel and two glitter glues for makeup looks. The glue is good enough to hold the glitter but not too sticky where it leaves a nasty residue. So that’s a plus and it’s easy to wash off. However, the glitter does not adhere or stay in place on dry skin. I’m assuming it’ll be great to spray on the body if you have some type of oil in for it to adhere too but haven’t tried it yet. Will update next weekend.
