The giant gouramis in our sunda gharial exhibit have become quite the spectacle for their massive size. These impressive fish are related to bettas and also breathe air from the surface using their labyrinth organ. Next time you see them, take notice to them doing this as they swim up for a quick breath of fresh air 🐟
