Anabas is the scientific name for a fish species commonly known as climbing perch or livebearer. Some synonyms for this fish include walking fish, mudskipper, and aerial fish. These names refer to the unique ability of the climbing perch to move around on land using its fins. The fish can also breathe air, enabling it to survive in low-oxygen environments. In some regions, the climbing perch is considered a delicacy and is highly sought after for its taste. While it is an interesting and resilient species, the climbing perch can also be invasive in non-native environments, causing harm to local ecosystems.
