AKA Rainbow Snakehead...Local store here has a tankful.
Golds Aquarium in Calgary Alberta has them for $30 dollars Can.
Looks Like I found My new killer!!!!!!!!
Should be getting my 150G in a week or so and he should be very happy in my 108G
Thinking of getting two (at least)
Any thoughts from you guys??

I believe it is "Canadis". The "b" seems unnecessary.

thats funny i was in a lfs today also saw the bleheri these are 2and a half inch no price on them as yet but stunning color i believe they grow to 20 centimeter
cheers woolfie
As they are one of few that will live together with their own kind and dont grow too big I would take advantage and get a few.We have got 7 pleurophthalma to make a species only tank and if I had another spare tank I would do the same with bleheri.To see snakeheads together in a pack is something else.

How far is this province from montreal??
I would say a having a group will depend on the size of the tank. I wouldn't say they are not aggresive just less so than other SH's
I have one and it one good looking fish. I want more.

Actually It is my Online Name. What does it matter how it is spelled for 1, 2 I have the d and b because I am from Canada and I like the "bis". It would have been Canadabis but some sites it is used.
That wasn't my question anyhow!!!
How far is this province from montreal?
Other side of the country next to British Colombia About 3000 miles west!!
The ones here right now are about 5 " and $30 Can.
Thanks for everyone responses looks like I will get 4 of them for my 5 foot tank

Its quite the site and Albert doesn't always have time to update it but if you call them they would be happy to share info. They are closed on thursdays. I know they have some because I saw them 3 days ago and there was probably 25 in the tank!!
