I'd be willing to bet fishman will have an answer- but he won't look at this thread based on the title.

Is this him? Ctenopoma acutirostre

that would be my guess, climbing perch, looks like a dead ringer

Thats what I thought also. They get pretty big I think. Cool find!

Preciate ya....but I did end up looking. It is Ct. acutirostre. Spotted Climbing Perch. Get about 6"-will eat small fish when larger. They lose the cool pattern when big too...A type of 'gourami'...anabantoid, that is.

There's your answer!! THanks fishman!!

I have one that I have had for a long time. They are a climbing perch. They are also called a leaf fish. Mine is really cool. One day I noticed a thumping noise coming from my aquarium and realized that I had sprinkled a little food on the lid of the aquarium when I had fed them. He was leaping out of the water and getting it off of the lid. It was really cool.

They do get about 6 inches long. You can get little ones at Petsmart, but they are usually only about 1" long.
