Climbing perch Profile

The Climbing perch, native to Asia including India, Bangladesh, and Southeast Asia, is a fascinating freshwater fish known for its unique ability to "walk" on land for short distances. It typically displays a color palette ranging from olive green to brown, with a sturdy, elongated body that can grow up to 10 inches in length. This species has not only piqued scientific interest with its air-breathing capabilities and terrestrial locomotion but has also gradually gained recognition among aquarium enthusiasts for its hardiness and distinct behavior. However, its size and environmental needs make it less common in the aquarium hobby compared to more conventional fish.
