A swamp putt was a kind of freshwater fish. In West Java and a Jakarta round this fish was mentioned a putt siam, whereas in East Java he was also known by the name of sliper. In English was mentioned snake-skin gouramy, referred to the pattern of the colour of spots beside his body. His scientific name was Trichogaster pectoralis. The swamp fish that bertubuh was, long the total reached 25 cm; but generally less than 20 cm. Wide thin and flat, with the mouth rather meruncing. The colour of the wild fish usually blackness until rather greenness in almost all of his body. Occasionally the side of the visible body rather obviously striped askew. A big spot route blackness, that only was seen in the coloured individual obviously, was received beside the body beginning with behind the eyes as far as the tail starting point. Back fins (dorsal), the tail, chest fins and anal fins were dark. A pair of foremost thorn to stomach fins changed to the tentacle that resembled the whip or the whip, memanjang as far as his tail.

A swamp putt could it was known breathe directly from air, apart from using his gills to absorb oxygen from water. The original spreading of this fish was from South-East Asia, especially from the Mekong River valley in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam; also from the Chao Phraya valley.
