Etymology: Badis: 'badis' is presumably a Bengali local name, possibly derived from 'bhedo' or 'bheda', but it lacks a proper reference. Probably incorrect etymology (J. Müller, pers. comm., April 2021, after information from native speakers); kaladanensis: Named for the River drainage, the Kaladan River; an adjective.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology
