Gourami

All Gourami species belong to the Labyrinth family, they live exclusively in fresh water. All Labyrinth species have in common the presence of labyrinth-shaped breathing organs connected to each gill chamber.

This adaptation makes Labyrinth fish, such as the Gouramies, very suitable for a life in low oxygen waters, since the organs make it possible for the fish to absorb oxygen directly from the air.
