Koi or Climbing Perch
Anabas testudineus
22.5667, 88.3667
Field Notes
Description:
This one was not fully grown as those are much larger. Dorsal fins spiny.
Habitat:
Just where the planned township ends are ponds. I brought two of these home in a jam jar and later allowed these to swim in a glass bowl but that did not photograph well ...they kept jumping out as you can see in the first two photos...petal encrusted and all.
