Oriental Weatherfish like places with muddy bottoms. In oxygen-poor mud, they breathe by sending air into their intestines. The evidence of gut breathing is the bubbling water that comes out, as if they were farting. Oriental Weatherfish and Chinese weatherfish are members of the same family(Cobitidae) and look similar, but they are clearly different species. If your whiskers are more than four times as long as your eyes, you're a Chinese weatherfish; if they're about two and a half times as long, you're a oriental weatherfish; and if your face is oval when viewed from the front, you're a oriental weatherfish; if it's round, you're a Chinese weatherfish.

- Scientific name: Misgurnus anguillicaudatus
