Anabas Testudineus Ctenopoma

Anabas Testudineus
Ctenopoma

In the wild, Anabas species grow up to 20 cm. They inhabit both brackish and fresh water.[1]

Marking corpus is brown-green in colour and the belly is yellowish. The azygous fins have prickly beams.

Anabas possess a labyrinth organ, a structure in the fish's head which allows it to breathe atmospheric oxygen, and therefore can be out of water for an extended period of time (6–8 hours).Anabas are carnivorous, living on a diet of water invertebrates and their larvae, and guard their eggs."...A. testudineus is known to inhabit brackish water, efforts should be made in the future to determine the effects of increased salinity on its branchial functions and air-breathing capacity. *
