there is the aqualog book on labariynth fish which covers channa , but is quite old now and things have moved on a lot so there are many misidentifacations and out of date information .
i belive pascal looked into writing a book ,but the publishers did not think there would be enough interest .

i got that little book but it is full of mistakes and doesn't contain much useful info but the report on the bleheri
you can read the english updated version on my website
vierke kindly gave his permission
the book is quite old
i bought it over 18yrs ago
maybe useful to a absolute beginner so he can get an idea of some species and their sizes

Yes, it's an old book... surely outdated now, of course. Perhaps may have been a good book, say 18 years ago maybe? It mainly consists of text, (German - which totally sucks for me), but it does have a few good decent pics. I mean especially for being 18 years old. But like Baloo said, it's probably only good for absolute beginners... to get an idea of some species and their sizes. I agree.
Bu whether "absolute beginner", expert/pro, or novice...IMO, all books can always be useful... for something... reference material, guide, photos, illustrations, or even high chair?
lol! But if you're anything like me, who likes to collect any aquarium/aquatic fish related books, magazines, Dvds, etc. then this book would make a good addition to the collection, i'd say. Especially since there isn't really anything on snakeheads. Hopefully tho there will be a book/books written and published, dedicated towards channa species. Who knows?... it might end up being a member here, who just might be the one writing it??... uhhhmm, Baloo? Tropheus??
pascal didn't write one becauseno one was willing to publsh it
there was material for a whole book on fishdemon, very good material by frisby and clark but they didn't get published eather
unless it is a big seller its hard to get a book published and a book for channa still only aims at a very small marked

agreed mate , also now that we have web-sites that can be updated as new information comes along ,where a book is out of date before its even put on sale .
i would imagine if anyone would publish it it would be tfh , and if pascal and mr frisby can not get one published , would not leave much hope for anyone else , i agree i would love to have seen a book done by pascal ,he is without doubt the number one channaholic out there
