Koi or Climbing Perch

Anabas testudineus

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.

Notes:

Taxonomy: http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/16654... May be this is not one species!
