Hi guyz!!!

Here is a video of my Auranti.

At the moment around 11 inches with tail.
I think he is a male. From the looks of it Im convinced.

For a 11inch specimen its look more female , I have seen some females with little blue on top, if it was a male his fins r much more wider

Nice! Thanks for posting.
It's good to see beautiful specimen like this.

Here in the US most of the general public hears snakehead and thinks evil mindless killing machine, or the Northern snakehead which is the cause of the bann!

It's really nice to see these beautiful animals, even if I can't keep one myself.

Hmmmm I seee.
One of my friends has a pair. His female is very dull looking compared to this one. Maybe mine is a very good looking female?

Thank you.

These are very interesting fish. The sub tropical once have amazing colours.

What I love the most about snakeheads is that these fish are some of the most intelligent fish I have ever owned. Intelligence level is equal or more than Oscars

She is, but it's probably because of the way your tank is set up.
Looks dark and full of hiding places. if your friend can reproduce that, his auranti will look better!
