                                Anabas # Comments => Habit and Habitat: Anabas is a common south Indian fresh-water fish. It can live out of water for a long time.                               Anabas is commonly called as climbing perch. Its body is covered by flat, bony, and rounded, cycloid scales. The dorsal and anal fin is well developed and provided with long backwardly directed spines. The same is with the operculum. Anabas can walk on land with the help of the dorsal or anal fin. Their tail is perfectly symmetrical and homocercal.
