Hi,TROPHEUS please update us on this ban on snakeheads,what species of channa and what countries,thanks.
Channa Barca
- Thread starter AU_Arowana-RG
- Start date
as it stands at the moment it would come in aug 2010 (i belive )i nvolve every species of channa and para channa , also all spiney eels along with many barbs and others fish from the same areas.
the countries effected would be :
as far as i am aware the following species are farmed
micro
pleuro
straita
marulia
argus - restricted by a diferant law
since these are all farmed there is big money involved with them and each farm would defanitly manage to obtain this status , the could not afford not too. however wild caught species are the ones that would suffer ,which are all the species that are really suited to aquarium life.
there are many rumors around on what will happen if anything , but no official word as yet ,so for now its just wait and see
cheers col

Why ban those snakeheads that grows to 24"? Just be a responsible keeper and don't release them in the wild. If they do that many people will stunt their snakeheads so it won't grow to 24"+.
