The Malayan Forest Betta is among one of the unique native species of fish that require oxygen from the air to survive, and not just from water!

Fishes that require oxygen from air have a specialised organ called the labyrinth, and are also known as labyrinth fishes. They have less developed gills and can survive out of water for a period of time, as long as they keep their body wet.
