Mudfish are interesting creatures. Where they live is dependent on their species, but generally they are found living in lowland areas, swamps and wetlands.
yes
Mudfish, particularly species like the African mudfish and the Australian lungfish, can live for several years, with lifespans typically ranging from 10 to 20 years in captivity. In the wild, their lifespan can be shorter due to environmental factors and predation. Some individuals in ideal conditions have been known to live even longer.

Its in the name "mud".
The Visayan name for mudfish is "butete." Mudfish, commonly found in freshwater environments, is known for its ability to survive in low-oxygen conditions by breathing air. They are a popular catch in many regions of the Philippines, particularly in rural areas.
Mudfish have tough scales to protect their bodies from predators. These scales provide a layer of armor that helps protect the mudfish from injuries and damage. Additionally, their ability to bury themselves in mud or under vegetation provides an extra layer of protection from predators.
The Benin tribe of West Africa viewed mudfish as a symbol of power and transformation. This is due the mudfish's ability to lay in mudflats all summer long, then come back to life when rain came in the fall. Benin saw this as being 'reborn'. They also saw this as mudfish being able to swim as well as walk on land. Mudfish can shock people from their spines also. So....when the Portuguese came across the water on their boats and landed, the Benin saw them as powerful because they were able to 'live in the water as well as walk on land. The Portuguese also had muskets which the Benin equated to the shocking spines of the mudfish...Sorry for the mini pamphlet. I hope this helps.

Snakes seek subsurface areas and form clusters to stay warm in places that have winter months. Mudfish hibernate in the moisture under the mud.
