| Trichopsis
pumilis, Tr. schalleri en Tr. vittatus are known while they
emit sound. That is why the Dutch aquarist gave them the name: knorgoerami, which
means something like groaning goerami. These sounds are produced almost only during
the display. Animals of the genus Trichogaster also produce sounds, only more
discreet. As far as known at the moment one can better estimate this sounds of
no particular importance. For the rest you meet on this page a couple[ of African species. Ctenopoma weeksii and Ctenopoma acutirostre. Of this Labyrinth is |
known that
he can reach an age of at least 5 years whereas the other Labyrinths must be satisfied
with an age of at highest a year or three. It is really a pity that we seldom
see these highly interesting fishes in the aquariumshops. All the more because
there can be found extraordinary colorful ones under them (See also the pages
