Betta cracens is a species of gourami endemic to the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. It is an inhabitant of freshwater swamp forest. This species grows to a length of 5.7 cm (2.2 in),[2] typically inhabits blackwaters that have very soft and very acidic water and is a bubble nest brooder.[3] The Latin term cracens means "slender" or "elegant" and is so named because of the fish's slender body.[3] It was first described in 1996 by Heok Hui Tan and Peter K. L. Ng in The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology.[4]
