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

is this sankehead the one that we fish in Kenyir lake?? sorry for being a noob..

that one you call toman right? should be Channa Micropeltes

My favorite channa are:
-Channa Aurantimaculata
-Channa Bleheri
-Channa marulioides

How you keep your Channa Aurantimaculata?
What is your water tempreture for your Channa Aurantimaculata tank?
I used to love Channa Aurantimaculata but they are subtropical fish so i can't keep them because i got no water chiller...



Bro, are you skareb‎ from MKF?
I wish to find the Channa marulioides like yours, but i in Kuala Lumpur.

yup tats me n i'm in KL oso

does anyone here know LFS that still selling channa bleheri?

I had caught in many places around Selangor..I only managed to catch haruans and tomans but no bujuk..tomans are so easy to catch in wild ponds and mining area around batang berjuntai..the juveniles are very easy target as they are aggressive and not as clever as the bigger fishes..i always release back all the tomans that I caught,I only bring back big haruans..the place that i use to fish is undergoing new housing project..i hope i can catch some big ones before they close the pond..

Added on December 26, 2012, 9:51 amI've been to PJ Old Town fish shop but they keep toman bunga and harimau only..bujuk is different,it has batik like markings in its body..

Added on December 27, 2012, 11:12 amNice fish.. I kept one before for about 7 years, it grew about 3 feet and died..

anyone interested in getting channa diplorgamma? wild caught specimen from india currently 5-6 inches pls pm me i only got 5 pcs left

picta and price?

U can go klia area.. Sometime i will go there to catch haruan and bujuk... Bujuk have nice marking... Bujuk more better to eat then haruan... But if got mothers already delivered bby or got 'luka' on body,its not good.. Coz isi bujuk 'tajam' and make wound hard to heal..

yup...cos for medic haruan the best compared to bujuk. bujuk just rear for fun and do some breeding in my place...melaka consider pupus liao... if you do caught and would like to sponsor few bujuks for me would really appreciate bro...

Sure can... Coz i have backup aqua 522,so can keep bujuk... Will inform u if i have got many bujuk..

okok..thank u bro..postage i bear..

Tapirus, pls let me know if i can join you for fishing in KLIA. I can bring you to some nice spots in Kuala Selangor. I attach some of my catches pics

Bluetiger... Sometime we also go fishing tg karang... Thats our group fav area..

can someone help me translate all those malay channas name to its binomial names?
like toman is chana micropeltes right?
but then i got mixed up with toman bunga, toman harimau and channa diplorgamma looks like toman...from my untrained eye.
thanx again.

toman harimau is actually c.micro juvi..the stripes will go away as they grow..c.micro and c.diplo they look kinda same tbh..i also dont know how to differentiate these two but from the images c.diplo seem to have very interesting pattern on its body @.@..toman bunga aka emperor snakehead aka c.marulioides

my lfs is selling tank full of 2 finger sized bujuk..rm2 each..seremban,sikamat area jz incase u wanna go visit

wahhh.....sounds so good..can do postage ka? u mean 2 finger size or 2inch?

mayb 3inch and a half..been a 2 weeks since i visit..mayb edi get bigger..i dont think they do postage lol

then u buy for me and do postage can ka?

i see what i can do man..let me go visit the lfs 2mrw..no promises tho

still looking for it...bujuk oh bujuk..where are juuu nao...

indeed not often to see lfs got sell..even at my place..so far only discovered one lfs got sell, others seems like din sell at all..

anybody interested in channa pulchra?

pic...price and size..location as well...

just want to ask what price for albino snake head

Bought 1 for rm8

so cheap where u buy it...cuz i found rm22....

It was the last one. I think it was rm8.or was it rm12. But definitely not rm20+.at about 2.5inches.those doesnt look expensive or rare it seems..

if the albino is short body sure price is .....

leucistic =/= albino

leucistic should cost more,bought my albino for rm30 4-5 years ago..maybe they got cheaper now as its not that rare anymore

hello molly, is it the bujuk still available there? if yes just adress me the LFS so i could go there. i know a lil bit that area. thanks.

Hello,

are you still selling Channa pulchra or any other Channas for that matter? Thanks

I've been trying to buy some toman, or the kerandang (goldish toman) for a while, had a few huge ones back in the day. Mostly caught by my dad, even had a pretty big bujuk but it killed itself trying to eat the surrounding puyu instead of the frogs.

I did manage to find 1 small kerandang a while back, but somehow it managed to gorge itself to death by eating too much. So I'm looking for another one but most of the shops i went don't have any more. Any advice where to get some would be appreciated.

channa micropeltes or channa lucious?

I'm lookin for Channa Marulioides mostly, may settle for others.

KOK Aquarium PJ got a lot of them.

Thanks so much bro, will have a look!

It's been a long time i had never came here.
Today is their first anniversary in my house.
This is my third time to keep Channa Auranti so i hope they can continue to grow and live healthy.

Here their photos on Oct 2013 (Pair shots)

Hey guys, do you know where i can get the Channa Pulchra? Ive been looking all over for it but cant seems to find it. Anyone knows where?

It's almost 1 year since your last post vinlwj, we demand an update to your channa auranti tank

My Auranti tank and the pair had been sold due to house moving at last 2 months.
Sorry to disappoint you, my friend.

Now i am fully concentrate on keeping Channa Marulioides.
