Betta & Gourami Profiles

By , About.com Guide

Bettas and Gouramis are known as labyrinth fish, which are part of the Anabantoidei family. They are native to Africa and Southeast Asia, residing in areas where high temperature and shallow water depth result in low oxygen saturation in the water.

In addition to being able to breath air directly, some of the fish in this family are able to move on dry land. Most are bubble-nest blowers, and the males of the species tend the young.
