betta

Rather than simply waiting for a clockwise turn and then presenting the mirror, past experience with another betta suggested that the turning behavior could be established more rapidly using a shaping procedure.

2005, Russell A. Powell, Introduction to Learning and Behavior, page 245:

"Do you know that Siamese fighting fish—bettas—excrete ammonia in their waste, and that ammonia is toxic to fish? Twenty-four hours flapping their little gills in the same, unfiltered water, and they're history.[…]"

2006, Kasey Michaels, Everything's Coming Up Rosie, page 82:

I had previously bought a bright red betta fish from the Chinese spiritual store, which I also sense had been sent for Aurayah.

anabantid

Again, the emotions of jealousy and rivalry are manifested to such an extent by the anabantid betta pugnax of Siam, that the species has been cultivated by the inhabitants of the country for the sport they furnish, which for them vies in interest with the cock-fights and bull-fights of the Spanish peoples.

1883 June 30, “Animal Intelligence”, in The Critic, volume 3, number 77, page 300:

Anabantids are a very popular group of fish from Asia and Africa, most of which are known as gouramis.

2002, Alice Burkhart, Pocket Guide to the Care and Maintenance of Aquarium Fish, page 86:

Toxotid and anabantid fish from Southeast Asia project spouts of water toward prey above the surface of the water .

2011, Robert W. Shumaker, Animal Tool Behavior: The Use and Manufacture of Tools by Animals:

(zoology) Any member of the family Anabantidae of climbing perches.

climbing gourami

en-noun

climbing gourami (plural climbing gouramis or climbing gouramies)

climbing gouramis (plural)
climbing gouramies (plural)

Ananantidae. This family, known as the climbing gouramis, contains three genera, Anabas (1 species), Cteropoma (at least 25 species) and Sandelia (2).

1997, Jeffrey B. Graham, Air-Breathing Fishes: Evolution, Diversity, and Adaptation, page 54:

The anabantids, or climbing gouramis (Channa), are adapted to freshwater wetlands.

2000, Ramon Folch i Guillén, Josep María Camarasa, Encyclopedia of the Biosphere: Tropical rainforests, volume 2, page 157:

2001, E. Yu. Krysanov, A. S. Golubtsov, Journal of Ichthyology, Volume 41, Issues 6-9, page 698,
Eight species of the African climbing gourami genera Ctenopoma and Microctenopoma were karyologically studied using the air-dried method.

Any fish of the taxonomic family Anabantidae.


labyrinth organ

labyrinth organ (plural labyrinth organs)

The labyrinth organ may work a bit like a lung, but it is an entirely different solution to the problem of how to remove oxygen from air.[…]The labyrinth organ is an effective adaptation to low-oxygen habitats.

2002, Gary Elson, Oliver Lucanus, Gouramies and Other Labyrinth Fishes, page 6:

The labyrinth organ fills most of the opercular cavity and is positioned behind and above the gill chamber and extends into the suprabranchial space; hence the name suprabranchial organ.

2008, Tim M. Berra, Freshwater Fish Distribution, page 480:

Anesthesia of fish with labyrinth organs (bettas, some gouramis, etc.) should be approached with caution. Owing to the unique anatomy of the labyrinth organ (enables fish to breathe atmospheric oxygen) and the gills of these fish (thick lamellae and ecreased lamellar surface area), it is possible to "drown" the fish if an overdose of an anesthetic agent is given.

2012, Helen E. Roberts, “MS 222 Anesthesia”, in Jörg Mayer, Thomas M. Donnelly, editors, Clinical Veterinary Advisor: Birds and Exotic Pets, page 513:

(zoology) An organ common to fish of the suborder Anabantoidei that enables them to breathe air.


labyrinth fish

labyrinth fish (plural labyrinth fish or labyrinth fishes)

labyrinth fish (plural)
labyrinth fishes (plural)

From labyrinth + fish; see also labyrinth organ.

Labyrinth fish have another peculiarity, in that all the internal organs are compressed into the front part of the body, so that the rear of the body contains only the spine and muscles.[…]Labyrinth fish are nearly all predatory, and many are unsuitable for the community tank.

1995, Brian Ward, The Aquarium Fish Survival Manual, page 114:

Labyrinth fish belong to different but related families of fish; they live in southwestern Africa and throughout much of southern and eastern Asia.

2001, Marshall Cavendish Corporation, Aquatic Life of the World, volume 5, page 288:

Labyrinth fishes (Anabantoidei) are grouped into three families (Osphronemidae, Helostomatidae, and Anabantidae) within the teleost Order Perciformes.[…]Labyrinth fishes form a natural (monophyletic) group of teleost fishes, the Suborder Anabantoidei.

2009, S. Blair Hedges, Sudhir Kumar, editors, The Timetree of Life, page 344:

Labyrinth fish are nest builders, and the males maintain the nest and incubate the eggs.

2010, Beth Vanhorn, Robert W. Clark, Veterinary Assisting Fundamentals & Applications, page 2017:

(zoology) Any fish that has a labyrinth organ, a fish of the suborder Anabantoidei, an anabantoid.


anabantoid

The anabantoids are called ”labyrinth fishes” because every species in the entire suborder possesses paired suprabranchial chambers that function for air breathing (Das, 1927; Bader, 1937; Peters, 1978)[…]Early discussions of the form and possible function of the anabantoid labyrinth organ are contained in Peters (1846, 1853), Zograff (1886, 1888), and Henninger (1907).

The blue, pearl, kissing, and dwarf gouramies are well-known anabantoids. Less familiar anabantoids are the climbing perches and bushfish.[…]Anabantoids are commonly known as labyrinth fishes, referring to a specialized bone above the gill chamber. This structure starts out small in baby anabantoids, where it is called the epibranchial bone.

2004, Robert J. Goldstein, The Betta Handbook, page 1:

Anabantoid fishes have paired suprabranchial organs that function as accessory breathing structures.[…]Anabantoids must gulp air at the surface since gill respiration alone is inadequate to prevent suffocation.

A fish of the suborder Anabantoidei, a labyrinth fish.
