One of the more interesting fish i researched.

"The Leopard gourami possesses a labyrinth organ, which allows it to absorb oxygen from atmospheric air."

"The leopard bush fish is most active during the night time and at day it usually hides among the thick underwater vegetation."
The adult leopard bushfish is active fish also during a day ,also at night.This fish likes patrolling in the tank.And gourami is completely different fish.

Never heard of the Leopard Bush Fish but I have this guy, an African Leaf Fish!
Almost fully grown and eats anything that will fit in his mouth!

Actually, that ^ is the fish typically referred to as Leopard Bush Fish, same as the OP showed. The fish which is commonly called African Leaf Fish is Polycentropsis, superficially similar in appearance but a different fish altogether, not what this pic shows.
