Hi guys,
As a reference, I listed down the fauna classified under 'Anabantoids':
1) The family Luciocephalidae: the Pikehead, Luciocephalus pulcher (Gray 1830),
2) the family Anabantidae: Climbing Gouramis/Perches, Africa, India to the Philippines. Three genera (Anabas, Ctenopoma, Sandelia) with about thirty species,
3) Family Belontiidae (Polyacanthidae): Gouramis, bettas. Pakistan, India, the Malay Archipelago and Korea. Twelve genera of about 46 species,
4) Family Helostomatidae: the Kissing Gourami, and
5) Family Osphronemidae: Giant Gouramis.

Actually, lungfishes, snakeheads etc are NOT anabantoids. They are just able to extract and use atmospheric air. If in doubt, just ask!
Enjoy the new sub-forum!
Cheers,
