King, post more pics of your fish please... here's some pics of bud's old maculatas. :)

Yap the fish look veru similar to one on the pics. I know what a c. striata look like and I also have a 3x c. striata in my tank.

I will post the pics anytime soon, promise just wait.:)

The reason why they look like the head is flattened and the eyes were big because they were hit on the head. I bought 3 more without hitting the head. I just bag them up and payed for them and rush out and went to the washroom and add some water.

BUT

you cannot buy or sell them...

PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING FROM ONTARIO M.O.E. , I THINK THEY WILL DISAGRE WITH YOU !!!!


please ensure your info is correct before telling people if something is legal or illegal





So I finally got aresponse from the OntarioMinistry of the Environment and this is whatthey sent me regardingpossession of snakeheads in Ontario:

hi,

the video shows in the moving part channa barca, but the first ot moving picshows stewartii.

Cheers brucki
 
That video of the Barca is an old one, Probably not the actual fish available. Is that $4000 US. I would ensure you see pictures of the actual fish before spending the cash.

Thanks.
 
Here are the pics of the snakehead that I got, and it's not a channa strita. It could be channa maculata or channa argus, but I lean toward more on channa maculata.

Please give a proper ID.
Maybe a male as it got a slender body and with bigger wider head. It got a 3 layer spots.
