Betta of Sumatra Society (BOSS)

Betta of Sumatra Society (BOSS) breed betta fish in Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia. They have spent over a decade refining bloodlines and maintain water parameters that mirror natural habitats. As members of regional aquarium associations, Mulyadi and Jono Widjaja ensure each pairing meets health testing standards for common ailments like fin rot and velvet disease.

Tank setups replicate the cool, acidic waters found in the Sumatra region near Medan and are densely planted to encourage territorial displays. Fish are raised in thoughtfully stocked aquaria with gradual socialization and routine monitoring to promote vibrant coloration and robust temperaments. Breeding tubs follow strict quarantine protocols and a varied diet of live and freeze-dried foods to support early development. BOSS preserves wild-type strains native to Sumatran streams, supporting local conservation efforts through genetic diversity. Their careful packing methods use oxygenated bags and temperature-controlled labels to minimize stress during transit.
