Take the name of that fish store off here and just say LFS or it will be like rocky the snakehead round 2....

A commando type raid is likely already in the works as a result of this thread.

Channa micropeltes, aka the giant snakehead issnt that attractive above sizes of 1'.
The one in the store-zoo issnt looking unhealthy. Neither does the other one.
Besides its juvenile prints its just not a beautiful fish.
Sorry but its got nothing to do with spinal problems.
Specially the first one with the blue background is a beautie for as far as it goes.
A glass breaker.

And issnt the channa family wide spread in the states by now?

No.
Both pictures of the Micropeltes show a bad conditioned fish.
Micropeltes can Bloom in pattern and beauty over 1', if treated well and kept in a big enough home.

Hi,

cant you see, the knick in the spine ?
ive seen this on osteoglossum that were kept wrong ,too.

And if you watch most chanan vids on youtube you must think, that only in the US channa are kept the wrong way

A true monster. Killin' machine. Notice all the other fish living with it.

Your assumptions about the US are unsettling at best...

I wish i had 1 in my tank

hmmm his spine does look a little bent, but then this is the type of fish i keep and when they swim around the tank, their spines are very straight, so straight the tail bends upwards slightly. his colouring looks good and healthy. green *metallicy* (sp) colourings are always an idicator of health on giant sh

See normally I like to look before I leap and I swore that your location said NY last time. Anyway my bad, I know they are legal in Canada as are Asian Aro's.... So jealous.
