wow very cool.
I saw a few of these (1") at the Big Als on Sat. Didnt realize they only reached approximately 5-6" fully grown. These might be more doable than the micropeltes (giants) that they were also selling.

Actually they grow to 8 inchs, and they are the coolest fish i have ever owned ....I guess this is the time of season they are most common because i bought my five about a month ago. They will eat anything ...But i urge you to make sure your tank is completely covered not a single small hole.
congrats dude you'll enjoy them :thumbsup:

Yeah I do
I have 12 tanks
Largest is a 150G, then 100G, 75G, 72G bow, and so on and so on

4 should actually be ok in a 45 for life
I'm just prepared for a change in attitude.
That is if it happens
With them eating pellets and being as docile as they are it might not happen
BUT they are Snakeheads

i dont see any probs w/ the 4 of them in a 45gal. unless 2 pair up and breed.
do you have pics of an adult rainbow snakehead would look like?
Pretty much exactly the same. :)

As much as I like the fish.. I like the price....
I found a Rainbow SH here in Calgary.. A 4" fish for a 120 dollars!!!!!!!
Crazy, as I have an ethical issue of paying more than a 100 dollars for a fish, or rather my wife does.

As I understand the bleheri are $120 at Riverfront here in Calgary, but up at Golds they are 29.99. ~4" long so it is a great deal.

Nymo - I've only seen juvenile marus, but I am not sure they are badder than a red :)
Go into the video lounge and look at sgland's video of 2 red snakeheads around 11 inches.
