Nice collection you have there ggMing. Mind sharing some pics and your setup?
Am keen on getting some Channa Bleheri to go into my community tank. Absolutely love this dwarf species.

Channa Bleheri available

Ur siggy link doesn't seem to work...

sorry Draken, will fix it ASAP

hey there, anyone keeping channas?

PM me the price for Channa Bleheri

seems quite little snake head kakis...been a admirer of the great Channa Micropeltes, but size is an issues as pet for me...on and off I did keep some like channa lucius, the common channa striata and some wild caught/fish, currently with one piece:

Channa Gachua

Might add a piece of channa pulchra since I saw it available in my lfs at RM 33

An interesting aggresive creature to see when they whack their prey like frog

Hey guys.. I'm currently into dwarf snakeheads. Got 1 bleheri and 3 gachuas.

C.Way: Where is your LFS? I've seen LFS near my place selling pulchra for rm48.

I'm very into channa marulioides, currently has 5 babies

Jules: LFS in puchong, taman kinrara

moorish: nice one , I would like to have those, but too bad I'm not interested in accomoding their big size with big tank...use to have some babies and give away

Thanks c.way. Have you gotten it? Any other species available?

haha, didn't get it, I'm still very much in my wild betta project, not keen on expending on snakehead yet , you want me to help you get the pulchra?

Wah wild betta? Macs?? Hehe.

It's alright, thanks for the offer. Gonna save up to get bigger tank for my aro.

haha, mostly coccina group, albimarginata(the mini mac XD) and venturing into Unimac group now, mac is never on my list

Oh alright... why not try Macs also? I've read it's a tough task to handle their requirements ler. And costly of course.

flower starting to form, about 7" now

nice channa moorish!

how much are bleheris?

So far I've seen bleheris costing from rm18 to 30ish. Depending on size.

so common nowadays, and yes, the requirement scared me off, I'm a lazy fella who don't do water change, setup a bio tank with the cycle of ammonia neutralized by plants and bacteria...my tank water? 3 years without a single drip sucked out, so that explain why , water ph and temperature wise, I can do it without any electronic help

and probably personal behaviour as I like things that are unique yet not cared/bothered by others, mac, too many fans(many have no idea how to handle it ), in other species, I see the need to "help" them as I appreciate their beauties that many don't see
