Etymology: Macropodus: Greek, makros = great + Greek, pous, podos = foot (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Οικολογία

Asia: China, Japan and Korea between the rivers Zhujiang (Pearl river) and Heilongjiang (River Amur). Europe: occurrence in the Russian part of Amur basin is probably the result of introductions. Many authors refer to this species by its old name Macropodus chinensis, but see Ref. 42237.
Μέγεθος / Βάρος / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.6 cm TL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 112059)
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 12 - 19; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 5 - 9; Εδρικές άκανθες: 15 - 20; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 7 - 15; Σπόνδυλοι: 27 - 29. Caudal fin rounded; lower margin of preorbital weakly serrated, embedded under skin (Ref. 559). Stripe crossing eye not connecting spot on posterior projection of opercle with eye; posterior dorsal-fin rays filamentous behind vertical of posterior anal-fin rays in adults; 6-13 gill rakers on ceratobranchial of first arch; posterior tip of margin of scales on body not darker than scales (Ref. 42924).
Obligate air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Biology similar to Macropodus opercularis. Reported to be well-adapted to low winter temperatures (4-25°C); adults and juveniles (about 1.5 cm SL), are sometimes active under ice cover (E. Willems pes.comm. 11/12).
