Channa Barca

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Almost 9000 bucks for a fish! I love fish but it is not worth it to me. If I were to spend $9000 on a fish it would have to be really colorful and like play fetch and make breakfast. :hitting:

for me the aurantimaculata are a nicer fish anyway. im a friend of toms and the fish were really nice but the price of a fish is down to availability , barca are very rare but itll probably not be too long until someone breeds them and they become more available. like i said, my favourite channa is the aurantimaculata, the colours are great,.

Colors are great but rarity has is allure, the barca's have both.
 
the aurantimaculata seems to be rare at the moment too, tom was telling me that his supplier in india hasnt seen any for a while and that even though they are a food fish they havent been turning up in the markets lately either
 
aurantis are not even close to being rare. Many posters here on MFK have an auranti. Even wildwoods recently had them at around 50 quid each, and in asia they are plentiful. And pretty normal snakehead prices from what I have seen.

Barca are proper rare, something like only 7 in captivity in the world.

It doesn't get much rarer than that :)

if you look at what i said it was that they seem rare at the moment - ididnt mean that they are rare in the hobby - but that they are rare in the trade at the moment
