Hi there
I'm kinda new here..!
at all u guys seem to know very much about fish !!
I just had my new snakehead (about 10 days) and i have
a good tank i think (100*50*25) cm
My snakehead is 30 cm kinda oily green with 2 dark lines
,yellow eyes,bright belly and it has teeth..
the problem is that I don't know its name (type-kind...whatever)
I chicked the net alot and i found 29 types but my snakehead
was not one of them !!
I bring it big (30cm) so maybe the one who rise it was stupid
so it lost it's strong colors??could that be??
and another thing about feeding it:
I put 3 small gold fish (they can be swallowed
without using the teeth) in the tank with it as
food but it don't show any evil (monster) behavior..
it don't do fast reactions..it just stay
in its place like nothing happened.
at all it eats the gold fish but that happenes at night
while i sleep and the lights are off.
it ate 3 gold fish in 10 days.is that good??
please give me some real good info cause i had emperor snakehead
oneday and it was very wild and evil even without the teeth..and it
was 23 cm.
??

Snakehead 13:

Definately Channa Micropeltes... grows up to about 1 meter... Nice fish though

Thats a Red snakehead aka Giant snakehead aka Channa micropelets...

They r very aggressive fish..and grow huge..
Feed them gold fish is not a good idea.. Try some other foods like shrimp, beefheart..etc..

They tend to loose thier colour as they grow up...
This is how it would look when he grow bigger...

cause i bought it to see some real action and i am angry of it now coz it is lazy..!

thats not a good reason to buy a fish.
If u want action, then play an egoshooter game, or run through a minefield

my two cents

hey i was just kiddin but u know some action here is needed when some friends come to see the monster..
