Badis Badis
''Badis badis'', also known as the blue perch or blue badis, is a small species of Asian freshwater fish in the family Badidae of the order Anabantiformes. It is found in ponds, rivers, ditches and swamps in northern India, eastern Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal, including the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Mahanadi and Indus basins. It is sometimes kept as an aquarium fish. It is a small, predatory fish that feeds on tiny invertebrates. Maximum total length is around . It is sexually dimorphic, with males growing larger and being more colorful, especially when excited, compared to females. Adult males have blue fins and may display dark vertical bands on the flanks, while the smaller females display little color. Several similar relatives, now recognized as separate '' Badis'' species, have historically been confused with ''Badis badis''. Historically the two genera that now make up the Badidae, ''Badis'' and ''Dario'', were placed in the family Nandidae Nandidae, the leaffis ...

Oreochromis Mossambicus
''Oreochromis'' is a large genus of oreochromine cichlids, fishes endemic to Africa and the Middle East. A few species from this genus have been introduced far outside their native range and are important in aquaculture. Many others have very small ranges; some are seriously threatened, and ''O. ismailiaensis'' and ''O. lidole'' possibly are extinct. Although ''Oreochromis'' primarily are freshwater fish of rivers, lakes and similar habitats, several species can also thrive in brackish waters and some even survive in hypersaline conditions with a salinity that far surpasses that of seawater. In addition to overfishing and habitat loss, some of the more localized species are threatened by the introduction of other, more widespread ''Oreochromis'' species into their ranges. This is because they—in addition to competing for the local resources—often are able to hybridize. ''Oreochromis'' are fairly robust fish, and medium–small to very large ciclids that can reach up to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Colisa Fasciata
''Trichogaster fasciata'', the banded gourami or striped gourami or Colisa or Kholshe , is a tropical labyrinth perch found in some Asian countries like Bangladesh, Eastern India, Northeastern India, Nepal, Upper Myanmar, China and Pakistan. Characteristics ''Trichogaster fasciata'' is an air-breathing fish, so that the aerial respiration is performed with the help of a pair of supra-branchial chambers, each containing a complicated labyrinthine organ. Body is elongated and compressed. Mouth is small and slightly protrusible. Preorbital serrate is found in young fish. Body color is greenish with oblique orange or bluish bars descending downwards and backwards from the back to the anal fin. It is benthopelagic and prefers weedy environments such as estuaries, ponds, large rivers, ditches, lakes and rice fields. The species has drawn attention for its scrumptious taste, contribution to nutrition and its ornamental value as an aquarium fish. It is somewhat shy but quite hardy, and ...

Colisa Lalia
The dwarf gourami (''Trichogaster lalius'') is a species of gourami native to South Asia. Distribution and habitat The dwarf gourami is native to Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. However, it has also been widely distributed outside of its native range. It inhabits slow-moving waters in rivulets, streams and lakes, occurring in areas with plentiful vegetation. Appearance and anatomy This species can reach a length of TL. Male dwarf gouramis in the wild have diagonal stripes of alternating blue and red colors; females are a silvery color. Besides the difference in color, the sex can be determined by the dorsal fin. The male's dorsal fin is pointed, while the female's is rounded or curved. They carry touch-sensitive cells on their thread-like pelvic fins. Dwarf gouramis sold in fish stores may also be solid colors (e.g., powder blue dwarf gourami or red flame variety) which are nothing but captive bred color morphs of the same species. Similar to the archerfish, the dwarf gourami ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Channa Gachua
''Channa gachua'', the dwarf snakehead, is a species of fish in the family Channidae. The name "dwarf snakehead" is also used for several other species of small snakeheads. ''C. gachua'' is native to freshwater habitats in southern Asia, where it has a wide distribution from Iran to Indonesia. This fish is considered to be a species complex, a group of several closely related taxa with one name. It is likely at least three to four different species, and further research may differentiate them. A few species such as '' Channa harcourtbutleri'' have been separated from the complex in recent decades. The easternmost population of ''C. gachua'' is often recognized as a separate species '' C. limbata'' , while the isolated Sri Lankan population often is recognized as '' C. kelaartii''.Conte-Grand, C., Britz, R., Dahanukar, N., Raghavan, R., Pethi-yagoda, R., Tan, H.H., Hadiaty, R.K., Yaakob, N.S. & Rüber, L.

Channa Marulius
''Channa marulius'' (bullseye snakehead or great snakehead) is a large species of snakehead native to South Asia. Populations in Southeast Asia are now regarded as separate species.Adamson, E. A. S. and R. Britz (2018). The snakehead fish Channa aurolineata is a valid species (Teleostei: Channidae) distinct from Channa marulius. Zootaxa 4514 (4): 542-552.Adamson, E.A.S., R. Britz and S.

Taxonomy ''C. marulius''—as traditionally defined—is a species complex. A study published in 2017 showed that '' C. pseudomarulius'', formerly regarded as a synonym of ''C. marulius'', is a valid species from the southern Western Ghats. A genetic study published the same year showed that ''C. marulius'' consisted of three clearly separated lineages (not counting the already separated ''C. pseudomarulius''). On ...
