Channa pulchra. This was described in December 2007. Here's a pic of my 6.5" one.

Apparently 10". I think slightly smaller though. Its head shape and (low) level of aggression suggests it's closely related to C. bleheri which maxes out at 6" and is found in India. Guess how much I got this pig for?

Very cool. I don't think they'll be arriving in the states at all.

I actually forgot snakeheads are banned in the US of A. Maybe you should emigrate. Lol.

The UK's currency is the pound, not the euro.

Wow that's more than 3 times the price here. Maybe you should just make a quick flight over and get one since you're in Holland... Lol.
