Hi, since this thread is somewhat dead, and I cant sleep, and im a fish freak, here is a chronological story of my channa tank.

Good stuff bro, nice to read stuff from fish crazy people. Are Bleheri aggressive in general?

Im having Channa Assam. All dwarf snakeheads are territorial, even with themselves sometimes. So best if u keep only their kind in one tank. And with lotsa hiding places.

Those are the blue ones? Sorry not too familiar with the Channa genus. How do they look from the top? Pretty? I'm considering adding a new species to my small pond (only about 4000 litres) and am considering a dwarf snakehead. Its heavily planted with water lilies (about 40% coverage), water hyacinths, money plant, pergola. I'm worried of territorial issues with my high back aro and giant gourami. Everything else in there is small (denison barbs, 70 rosy barbs, guppies + prawns).

All smaller fish except for my Denison barbs (3-4 inch) are expendable. What do you think? Viable?

Aiseh.....if jumper then i think cannot. Water level is about 3-4 inches from the top. Also....i quite sayang my denison barbs, i don't mind if it whacks the rest, guppies are thriving in my pond and i don't want them. Strangely, my 14 inch high back ignores all smaller fish.

Anyone here keep Red Tailed Catfish?? Absolutely love mine.

Pengenalan Kepada Ikan Terlarang Di Bawa Masuk / Import Ke Malaysia



PERATURAN-PERATURAN PERIKANAN (LARANGAN IMPORT,
Dan Sebagainya BAGI IKAN) 1990

JABATAN Perikanan mewartakan Peraturan Perikanan (Larangan Import dan sebagainya bagi Ikan) 1990 bagi mengawal kemasukan spesies ikan eksotik dari luar.

Pada awalnya, peraturan ini menyenaraikan sebanyak tujuh genus yang dilarang import kemudian meminda pada 2011 dengan memasukkan sembilan lagi genus dan spesies dalam senarai sedia ada untuk menjadikan jumlah kesemuanya 14 genus dan dua spesies ikan.

Larangan yang dimaksudkan dalam peraturan berkenaan adalah larangan bagi mengimport, menjual, memelihara atau menyimpan genus ikan hidup seperti diperuntukkan dalam senarai di bawah kecuali dengan kebenaran bertulis daripada Ketua Pengarah Perikanan Malaysia.



Larangan import ini dibuat selepas menimbang beberapa faktor seperti tahap ancaman kepada ekosistem, habitat dan spesies tempatan selain risiko penyakit yang dibawa oleh spesies ikan yang mudah dijangkiti dan spesies ikan vektor penyakit.

Senarai genus dan spesies ikan dilarang untuk diimport

- Serrasalmus/Serrasalmo/Pygocentrus/Catoprian

- Pygopristis

- Colosomma/Piaractus

- Mylossoma

- Mylopus/Myleus

- Pristobrycon

- Myletes

DONT Allow import but if buy from Fishshop, may not be imported right? some may be bred here ?
Or should they state, banned from keeping these fishes ? this is more effective at saving our ecosystem?  Weird indeed.
I currently own 2-3 species of the banned ones..

Anyone know where to get araipaima Gigas small ones cheap? haha

It endagers if u release it into the wild. Like most fishkeepers do, when it gets too big, they just release it into rivers and lakes. Just be responsible. Keep the fish until it dies of old age. If u cant afford to keep one, then dont.

In Sg buloh selling for RM200. Haha

I have one! About 1 feet plus. Had it since it was 4-5 inches long. 

Rm200 roughly what size ar? I don't want later that giant eat up my smaller fishes

I have a red tail catfish !
with a bunch of other fishes like 6 inch pacu x4
Red tail kelah, dunno what name actually
Alligator gar 6 inch
2xspotted gar 4inch
1 silver Rowan's 8 inch
And a bunch of the cheap catfish for feeding one, but giant size 8inch +

What I want to say is, my red tail catfish rarely get to eat cox the other fish sapu everything at surface top before sinking down to him..... So hard to feed him
That's so sad...
