Badis badis also known as the blue perch or blue badis is a species of fish in the family Badidae of the order Anabantiformes. It is a small, predatory fish that feeds on tiny invertebrates. Maximum length is around 8 cm[3][4]. Sexual dimorphism depends on the fish's mood, with males displaying dark vertical bands on the flanks and blue fins while the females display little color.
Historically the two genera that now make up the Badidae, Badis and Dario, were placed in the family Nandidae; this is no longer the case.[2]
Badis badis is of slight commercial value as an aquarium fish.
