Anabantoids
All fish in this group have the ability to breate atmospheric air due to a lung. Many live in low oxygen or very still murky water. With few exceptions they are all fairly easy to breed. Many build bubblenests and care for their young. All are predatory, though mainly to insects and worms. Most are also semi-aggressive. Click here for more info on Anabantoids.
