Betta foerschi is a species of gourami endemic to the island of Borneo, where it is only known from the southern portion. It inhabits creeks in the rain forest. This species grows to a length of 7 cm (2.8 in). It can be found in the aquarium trade.[2] The specific name of this fish honours the German physician and aquarist Walter Foersch (1932-1993), who collected the type with his wife Edith Korthaus. Edith is honoured in the specific name of another species they discovered, Betta edithae.[3]
