Channa asiatica

[bsplenden]

Anyone has pictures and information of this fish?

I think I'm going to get one of them this weekend.

What chances are there that I'm going to get a pair of them if I get 4 of them?

They get to about 35cm/14inches. Never kept them but have seen them around. Might look into getting some. Beautiful species tho.

Yeah... They are BEAUTIFUL. And just happen that my LFS stocks them. I'd better find out more fast and get them soon before they get sold out.

But they are wild caught. Would that make them more difficult to breed in captivity?

Is there a way to sex them when they are only about 5" or so?

Watch out. Chann Asiatica are MEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I kid you not. Last time I had them and I had just released them into the tank. Within second they were already attacking each other. They also started bitting my other fish as well.

Nice fish and a good size, not too big, not too small.

nice fish!

 

[bsplenden]

Good. Then I'm getting them. Hopefully I can see a pair of them in the bunch.

Otherwise, I'm only getting one since they aren't cheap. Don't want to see them killing each other in my tank.

Will be posting pictures once I bought it.
