Badidae
The Badidae (the chameleonfishes) are a small family (about 30 species) which has been placed in the order Anabantiformes. However, the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the family as being a sister to the Anabantiformes, along with the Nandidae and Pristolepididae in an unnamed and unranked but monophyletic clade which is a sister to the Ovalentaria within the wider Percomorpha. Members of this family are small freshwater fish that are found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan and Thailand. The largest is ''Badis assamensis'' that reaches a standard length Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of their anatomies.

Badis (fish)
''Badis'' is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Badidae found in South Asia, Southeast Asia and China. These species have a sharp spine on the opercle, soft and spinous parts of the dorsal fin contiguous, three spines in the anal fin, tubed pores in the lateral line, villiform teeth and a rounded caudal fin.Geetakumari, K. & Kadu, K. (2011)''Badis singenensis'', a new fish species (Teleostei: Badidae) from Singen River, Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India. ''Journal of Threatened Taxa, 3 (9): 2085-2089.'' In addition, they differ from the related genus ''Dario'' by being larger and displaying more involved parental care. Species There are currently 24 recognized species in this genus, but a comprehensive taxonomic review is necessary as some of the described species are inseparable based on available data. * '' Badis andrewraoi'' Valdesalici & van der Voort, 2015Valdesalici, S. & van der Voort, S.

Anabantiformes
The Anabantiformes , collectively known as Labyrinth fish. are an order of air-breathing freshwater ray-finned fish with two suborders, five families (Channidae, Aenigmachannidae, Anabantidae, Helostomatidae, and Osphronemidae) and having at least 207 species. In addition, some authorities expand the order to include the suborder Nandoidei, which includes three families - the Nandidae, Badidae and Pristolepididae - that appear to be closely related to the Anabantiformes. The order, and these three related families (classified as ''incertae sedis'' by the 5th edition of '' Fishes of the World''), are part of a monophyletic clade which is a sister clade to the Ovalentaria, the other orders in the clade being Synbranchiformes, Carangiformes, Istiophoriformes and Pleuronectiformes. This clade is sometimes referred to as the Carangaria but is left unnamed and unranked in ''Fishes of the World''. This group of fish are found in Asia and Africa, with some species introduced in ...

Dario Dario
The scarlet badis (''Dario dario'') is a tropical freshwater fish and one of the smallest known percoid fish species. It is a micropredator, feeding on small aquatic crustaceans, worms, insect larvae and other zooplankton. It is sold under a variety of names (''Badis badis bengalensis'', ''B. bengalensis'') in the aquarium trade. Description Scarlet badis are among the smallest percoid fish species. Males usually do not exceed , with the females being even smaller around . Apart from the size difference, the sexes are easy to distinguish by the vibrant colors and prominent fins of the male. Distribution and habitat The distribution of this species appears to be restricted to tributary systems draining into the Brahmaputra River in parts of West Bengal and Assam states of India, although it might also range into Bhutan Bhutan (; dz, འབྲུག་ཡུལ་, Druk Yul ), officially the Kingdom of Bhutan,), is a landlocked country in South Asia.

Nandidae
Nandidae, the leaffish, are a family of small freshwater fishes which some authorities classify in the order Anabantiformes, but which the 5th edition of '' Fishes of the World'' classifies the family and the related Badidae and Pristolepididae outside that order as "sister-taxa". Fishes of the World classified these families and the Anabantiformes alongside Synbranchiformes, Carangiformes, Istiophoriformes and Pleuronectiformes in a monophyletic clade which is a sister taxon to the Ovalentaria but to which the authors do not assign a rank or a name. According to FishBase, the family includes three genera: '' Nandus'' of South and Southeast Asia with several species, and the monotypic '' Afronandus'' and '' Polycentropsis'' of tropical West and Middle Africa. Most recent authorities place the two African genera in the South American leaffish family, Polycentridae, which is only distantly related to ''Nandus'' (the "true" Nandidae).Collins, R.A., R. Britz, and L. Ruber (2015). ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Myanmar
Myanmar, ; UK pronunciations: US pronunciations incl. . Note: Wikipedia's IPA conventions require indicating /r/ even in British English although only some British English speakers pronounce r at the end of syllables. As John C. Wells, John Wells explains, the English spellings of both Myanmar and Burma assume a non-rhotic variety of English, in which the letter r before a consonant or finally serves merely to indicate a long vowel: [ˈmjænmɑː, ˈbɜːmə]. So the pronunciation of the last syllable of Myanmar as [mɑːr] or of Burma as [bɜːrmə] by some speakers in the UK and most speakers in North America is in fact a spelling pronunciation based on a misunderstanding of non-rhotic spelling conventions. The final ''r'' in ''Myanmar'' was not intended for pronunciation and is there to ensure that the final a is pronounced with the broad a, broad ''ah'' () in "father". If the Burmese name my, မြန်မာ, label=none were spelled "Myanma" in English, this would b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
