Description

Climbing Perch Anabas Testudineus 6cm

Overview: The Climbing Perch, known for its unique ability to breathe air and traverse land, is a captivating addition to any aquarium. Originating from freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia, this labyrinth fish boasts a labyrinth organ, allowing it to gulp air at the water’s surface.

Feeding: These resilient fish are omnivorous, readily accepting both live and prepared foods. Their diet can consist of high-quality flakes, pellets, frozen foods, and occasional live treats like bloodworms or brine shrimp.

Tank Mates: Best kept in a community setup with peaceful tank mates of similar size. Avoid pairing them with aggressive or fin-nipping species. Ideal companions include peaceful community fish like tetras, rasboras, or peaceful cichlids.

Aggression: Generally peaceful but may display territorial behavior, especially during breeding. Provide plenty of hiding spots using plants, rocks, or driftwood to mitigate aggression.

Experience Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with some experience in maintaining freshwater aquariums. Their ability to breathe air makes them hardy, but attention to water quality and appropriate tank setup is crucial.

Water Parameters: Maintain a tropical freshwater environment with temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C), pH ranging from 6.5 to 7.5, and moderately soft to slightly hard water (5-15 dGH).
