Climbing Perch
Some keep them to avoid bad fortune. Legend has it that the climbing perch will avoid any demons or demonic powers to enter the home the live in. What a TALE!!! :) The Anabantidae are a family of perciform fish commonly called the climbing gouramies or climbing perches. As labyrinth fishes, they possess a labyrinth organ, a structure in the fish's head which allows them to breathe atmospheric oxygen. Fish of this family are commonly seen gulping at air at the surface of the water; which then passes out of their gills or mouth when they dive beneath the surface.
