Belontia, sometimes referred to as combtail gouramis, is a genus of gouramis, the only genus within the subfamily Belontiinae, native to freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka.[2] These are medium sized to large gouramis that are seldom kept in aquariums due to their aggression and relative lack of the color common to other gouramis.
Species
There are currently two recognized species in this genus:[2]
Belontia hasselti (G. Cuvier, 1831) (Malay combtail)
Belontia signata (Günther, 1861) (Ceylonese combtail)
