Channa asiatica

[ewurm]

I got a video of my Channa asiatica eating a piece of prawn meat!

I'm so happy that it took to prawn meat within 5 minutes of it being introduced into its tank.

The food was actually meant for my albino senegalus and my ropefish which are all in the same tank with it.

And this Channa is wild caught, so I wasn't expecting it to be eating dead food at all.

From the info I have read and seen, I expect channa to eat anything edible, including people. FRANKENFISH! LOL

For snakeheads in Singapore, that is one expensive piece...

We have baby tomans in bags of 10/15 and they cost like... 1 USD? They are used as feeders, but take some effort to grow them up and they are just as mean.

There are some goods and some bad...

My country banned ALL REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS except for the RES because of stupid reasons like "the animals might alarm the public if they escape" and stuff like that.

Channas, I love them! I am glad you see another side of it! I know they are a food delicacy in Asia.

I never like to eat FW fishes.

But this channa is still very shy.

Hmm... Nope. Its character doesn't suit me.

So I sold it off and got myself a Hoplias malabaricus instead. Suits me better.
