Joshksy, which sh is this "golden cobra?"... the one in pic below? :confused:



I totally agree with you here... very sensative as juveniles...

The pic you have shown is the expensive one I'm talking about.

I think you need to ask aapl76 for a pic of his Golden Cobra. I may not be sure if it's the same.

IoStrisciare, bro... I know this isn't a true albino... black eyes... it lecoustic. In the US, any Sh available/offered is a good deal... some deals good to some, some deals not so good... depends where in states they're from. :uhoh:

Joshsky, about how much do these "golden cobras" go for in your area??

man, after seeing this, i knew they had theses at my LFS. $1.25USD a fish, at a very young jevenile stage, maybe just a month old... so i got one... myabe i'll post a photo leter...


but, i actually have a question:

i saw a fish trader site, selling an albino snakehead, but it's scietific name was listed as channa micropeltes. the micropeltes is the giant of the species, the giant snakehead, and at a juevenile stage, they are very clearly easy to ID. but the albino looked exactely like a channa striata, common snakehead.

what would the scientific name be for an albino, or can breeders produce any channa as an albino?

thanks in advance.
