Classification: Order: Batrachoidiformes Family: Batrachoididae

Distribution: Type locality is given simply as ‘East Indies’, and this species is currently accepted to range eastwards from the Ganges River delta in India and Bangladesh around the coastlines of Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
A similar-looking fish from the Western Indian Ocean, including Madagascar and Réunion and previously considerded conspecific with A. grunniens, was described as A. meridionalis in 2004.

Maximum Standard Length: 200 – 300 mm.

Maintenance: Although this species is euryhaline it rarely does well when maintained in freshwater for prolonged periods.

Water Conditions: Temperature: 23 – 28 °C, pH: 7.5 – 9.0, Hardness: 268 – 447 ppm

Notes: This species is relatively common in the aquarium hobby but contrary to popular belief is not venomous in any way. The dorsal and opercular spines can pierce the skin, however, meaning extreme caution is necessary when netting it or performing aquarium maintenance.

It’s known by several english names including ‘freshwater lionfish’, and ‘grunting toadfish’, with the latter in reference to the fact that it can produce audible sounds when disturbed, especially if removed from the water.

It’s often confused with the related species Batrachomoeus trispinosus.

Indian shortfin eel: The Indian shortfin eel, Anguilla bicolor pacifica, is a species of eel in the genus Anguilla of the family Anguillidae.
