		Anabantid species are aquarium favorites, especially among beginners and\or community tank keepers.
		Most Anabantids are commonly known as Gouramis, but this group of fish does include others such as the Bettas and Paradise Fish.
		Below are care sheets on just about every Anabantid offered in the hobby.

	Amazing Oceanic Aquarium Plans For Building A Custom Aquarium
		The anabantids are bubble nest builders, the male usually producing the nest and guarding the young on his own.
		In fact, since the fry of anabantids are small and need the finest microscopic food at the start, they are best supplied with this by the mulm and decaying material in the spawning tank, although it is not actually very difficult to make up the deficiency if a clean tank is used.
		For the anabantids, the tank should be well-planted and not too deep, up to 10 inches at most, and preferably tightly covered to protect the surface nest.

	Anabantids
		Anabantids are another group of fishes that are quite different from those already discussed.
		Members of the families Anabantidae, Belontiidae, Helostomatidae, and Osphronemidae, Anabantids are also referred to as the ``labyrinth fishes''.
		This is due to a special breathing organ referred to as the labyrinth organ which is essentially a maze of tunnels near the fish's gills.

	Aquarium Fish Deals - About Anabantids (LABYRINTHICI) - Gouramis, Paradise Fish, Betta species
		Anabantids rise to the surface and take gulps of air which pass to the labyrinth organ where the oxygen is absorbed by the tissues.
		The male anabantid builds a nest of air bubbles coated with saliva which floats at the surface of the water.
		Because some Anabantids are able to withstand cooler temperatures, and because of their ability to survive in water with very low oxygen, these fish can be kept in tanks or bowls without heaters or filtration.

	Spawning behavior of Sandelia capensis
		Unlike other anabantids, the male did not undergo the typical U bend embrace of the female.
		The female swims into the spawning arena, the male assumes a position directly behind her, the female then touches the substrate and eggs are shed as the female body vibrates, the male then swims over the area and thereafter chases the female away.
		The breeding behavior of S. capensis is quite distinct from the two main breeding behavioral groups, the bubble nesters and the free spawners, within the other African anabantid genera, Microctenopoma and Ctenopoma.

	Journal of Aquariculture & Aquatic Sciences Article
		Chemical signals play a part in initiating nest building activity in anabantid males (Rossi, 1969) while pre-embrace physical contact (in the form of biting, butting and "beating" with the pelvic fins) contributes to successful mating (Forselius, 1957; Hall and Miller, 1968).
		Successful mating in anabantids, therefore, relies on complex interplay between visual, chemical (pheromonal), physical and mechanical (touch) signals.
		The female's eyes had, presumably, been lost through injury, such as might be suffered as the result of an attack by a larger, predatory fish in the close confines of an aquarium.

		This species is unlike its northern anabantid relatives and has acquired several distinct temperate specialisations.
		The plesiomorphic anabantid reproductive style is free spawning with the release of buoyant eggs.
		There is an urgent need to manage the remaining riverine populations and establish sanctuaries to keep this large African anabantid from extinction in the near future.

		In the past two years I have had about eight different Anabantids but recorded no spawning success.
		With this system it wasn’t necessary to add any fresh water as I found out that many of these tiny Anabantids will not tolerate ANY change in their water quality.
		Maybe I’ll be turning in all those Anabantids just like the cichlids (Don’t count on it).

	Special Species of Aquarium Tropical Fish, for the beginner and the expert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Because some Anabantids are able to withstand cooler temperatures, and because of their ability to survive in water with very low oxygen, these fishes can be kept in tanks or bowls without
		The Anabantids are often classified as "Labyrinth Fish" due to an organ called the labyrinth which enables them to breathe air through the surface of their bodies.
		They are often called bubble-nest builders because the males of most species build, guard, and maintain a foamy nest of soaplike bubbles that floats at the surface.

		This small West African anabantid is not common in the hobby, but for some reason it is one of the most commonly listed species in books about community tanks.
		The fish in the pictures are usually a lot better looking than the fish in our tanks, but they do have their moments.
		Many of these dwarf cichlids and anabantids need dithers, so Sue has quite the collection of interesting rainbows, cyprinids and characins for that purpose, or for no purpose other than they are nice fish in their own right.

	Betta splendens Profile
		This is derived from the local native name Ikan Bettah and the splendens part meaning brilliant.
		Belontiidae, a member of the Anabantid group or Labyrinth Fish.
		I mentioned at the beginning they were Anabantid (Labyrinth Fish), which means they possess a labyrinth organ that works, in effect, like a lung, allowing them to breathe air at the surface.

		History: The betta is a type of tropical fish known as an anabantid.
		Because bettas are anabantids, if you have a plant on top of the fish container, you need to make sure there is an air space between the top of the water and the bottom of the plant cup so the fish can breathe air at the water’s surface.
		If you keep a plant on top of the fish container, the plant roots need to be cut when they become too long so the fish has room to swim.

	Pearl Gourami Trichogaster leerii aquarium tropical fish from Tim's Tropicals
		They are peaceful and will lose their color under distress or aggression from other fish.
		Similar to the betta and other anabantids, the pearl gourami can breathe air directly and will frequent the top of the tank.
		The tank should be covered and gouramis should be kept in groups of 3 - 5.

	The basic anatomy of Betta splendens.
		The labyrinth organ is a wonderful adaptation for survival that enables Bettas to extend their habitats into rice paddies and ditches.
		Bettas are anabantids (of the Family Anabantidae), being fishs with an auxiliary breathing apparatus known as the labyrinth organ, that enables them to respire by breathing directly from the surface of the water.
		Taking air into their mouths and passing it over the labyrinth organ and out of their gill slits supplements the more usual breathing by way of gills.

	SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH aka "Betta Splendens" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Siamese Fighting Fish falls somewhere in the middle.
		As an anabantid it possesses a unique cavity within its head allowing it to process oxygen directly from the atmosphere by taking "gulps" of air from the surface or since it also is equipped with an efficient set of gills it can accept oxygen transfer from the water in which it lives equally.
		This evolutionary adaptation allows this small one to cope well in polluted water where another species would instantly be troubled.
