Distribution and Habitat
Crazy fish inhabit brackish and freshwater habitats near the coast, but they can sometimes be found upriver. They are demersal fish, usually found near the muddy bottoms of lagoons, estuaries, and mangrove forests with abundant vegetation.
Crazy fish has a wide distribution range: west from East Africa to as far east as Fiji, north from the South China Sea and south to Australia and New Caledonia, including islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Countries where it is found include Australia (New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, and Western Australia); Brunei Darussalam; Cambodia, China (Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong, and Macau); Fiji; India (including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands); Indonesia; Japan; Kenya; Madagascar; Malaysia; Mauritius (including Rodrigues Island); Mozambique; Myanmar; Papua New Guinea; the Philippines; Seychelles; Singapore; Somalia; Sri Lanka; Taiwan; Tanzania; Thailand; and Vietnam.

Famous quotes containing the words distribution and/or habitat:
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Neither moral relations nor the moral law can swing in vacuo. Their only habitat can be a mind which feels them; and no world composed of merely physical facts can possibly be a world to which ethical propositions apply.”
—William James (1842–1910)
