Read the description of the video. They are climbing perch, and no, they don't do that often.

Yes climbing perch, actually an anabantid, part of the betta/gourami group. They move when their water hole/ditch starts to dry up, or when it gets overpopulated.

Also a labyrinth fish if I am not mistaken.

Still this behavior has never been videotaped before till now!

Yes we shall.Mine had actually escaped and gotten out of the tank somehow and when I saw it on the floor I thought it was a mouse and almost killed it.
