Does anyone keep badis? This genus acts and looks similar to dwarf cichlids with sone difference on egg laying and male egg and fry care.These fish are grouped with the anabantids but keepers of anabantids seem to have little interest in the fish.There are now 23 recognized species of badis and about 7 species of its smaller cousin Dario.When they appear in club auctions they seem to be bought by cichlids people. I am currently keeping one species and have kept and bred several species of this genus
