A member of the Anabantidae family, which includes labyrinth fish like bettas and gouramis that can breathe air from the surface.
From the family name Anabantidae, derived from Greek 'ana-' (up) and 'bainein' (to walk), referring to their ability to move upward and breathe air; the suffix '-id' indicates a member of that family.
Anabantids have an extra breathing organ called the labyrinth that lets them survive in oxygen-poor water and even crawl across land—making them one of nature's most successful fish at colonizing unusual habitats!
