What Forum Do Badis Come Under?

[Ps3Steveo]

As the title says as I have a question?

Closest related to the labyrinth fish/anabantoids or maybe in the oddball section

 

[Fishy friend2]

Yeah I think that they should go in the oddballs section or anabantiods section

Actually, badis are from the Order Perciformes, Suborder Percoidei and Family Badidae. Cihclids are also part of the same Order but they are Suborder Percoidei and Family Cichlidae. Neither badis nor cichlids breathe atmospheric oxygen, so maybe they belong somewhere nearer to cichlids than to the labyrinths?

More likely there should be a Tropical Fish Forum for "Others" which includes those fish that don't really fit anywhere else.

(Note- I hate Latin and had to cut and paste most of the above.)

Thats what I thought but when i looked around online, everyone was classing them as being a non air breathing species similar to the labyrinth fish.

To be they seem to stand fairly alone lol.
