these are very cool fish. they are also an ancient species from the dino period. actually they have what could be considered a primitive lung and they almost have legs. they can spend extended times out of the water with no ill effect.they are truly neat fish...

right you are! ;D...they are like living fossil fish.and observing them move and eat reminds you of reptiles!they "crawl" using their pectoral fin and chew food like that of reptiles.
and what's cooler is that today they spawned!!!!!alright!!!!
