Comments: Known from Sumatra, Java and Borneo (Ref. 36654). Introduced into Bali (Ref. 7050) and Lake Poso (Ref. 26747). Development of several captive strains of Trichogaster trichopterus have been carried out. The blue colored strains are commonly reported in the aquarium literature as originating from Sumatra but these have never been encountered across the whole range of this species (Ref. 56386). Also Ref. 27732, 42107, 56386.

Biologie     Fachlexikon (Englisch) (z.B. epibenthic)

Obligate air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Lives in lowland wetlands (Ref. 57235). Found in marshes, swamps and canals (Ref. 43281). Inhabits shallow sluggish or standing-water with a lot of aquatic vegetation. Occurs in seasonally flooded forests throughout the middle and lower Mekong (Ref. 12693). Undertakes lateral migrations from the Mekong mainstream, or other permanent water bodies, to flooded areas during the flood season and returns to the permanent water bodies at the onset of the dry season (Ref. 37770). An air-breathing species (Ref. 118402). Feeds on zooplankton, crustaceans and insect larvae. Processed into salted, dried fish in Java (Ref. 4929). Also marketed fresh and commonly seen in the aquarium fish trade (Ref. 12693). Aquarium keeping: minimum aquarium size 100 cm (Ref. 51539).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Fortpflanzung | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larven

Builds bubble nest, usually at the surface. Male usually gathers the eggs, places them in the nest and guards them until they reach free-swimming stage (Ref. 6028). Male drives the female away (Ref. 1672).
