Ctenopoma Fasciolatum
The African climbing perches (sometimes referred to as “bush fish”) are
labyrinth fish, and so are closely related to the much more familiar
gouramis and bettas, which all come from Asia. Although they have never
been truly popular, the African climbing perches of the genus Ctenopoma
are consistently imported and offered for sale to aquarists with an eye
for something a bit different. Like their Asian cousins, Ctenopoma are
generally hardy and easy to keep, but there are some things the aquarist
needs to take into consideration before introducing some into a
community tank. But if you take the time to help them settle into your
aquarium, you will quickly find these to be fascinating fishes worthy of
a bit of extra effort.
