This is one of the most beautiful freshwater fish in the country. The clear blue-green floral patterns on the fins enhance their beauty. The specialty of these fish, unlike other fish, is that they do not get water-soluble oxygen through the gills and come to the surface from time to time to get normal air from the atmosphere. There is a triangular area between Colombo, Galle and Ratnapura districts. It has slow-flowing streams with a well-shaded muddy bottom. Zoologists say Malpulutta is confined to these waterways.Endemic to Sri Lanka.
