Spent a few months last year trying to find some channa bleheri that could be shipped to me (Canada) with no luck. I had given up until I recently got back into the hobby and very quickly bumped into a seller online who has 4 left. (must be time of year)..

I have a few questions about the species now. I've read online on a few sites that their maximum size is 8" .. what size aquarium am I looking at for these fish? 1 would seem to plain so I would definitely have to get a pair at least. My research has led me to believe however that you are muchhh better off going with a group of three as opposed to just a pair for both aggression and possible mating factors.

So wondering what size tank everyone would suggest for each possibility of 2, 3 or 4 of these channa bleheri.

Also what sexes am I best getting? If I go with three am I better with one male and 2 females or 2 males and 1 female etc ..

I have done some research on the species but always open to more information so anything you have to add about the species .. go right ahead.

Thanks in advance guys!

Here's a good article.

I suggest you get them all. You have best chances of getting a couple that way.

thanks for the link. hadn't ran into that article before. Breeding the snakeheads would be amazing if possible to hit a couple but it isn't my primary concern. I'd just like to have some snakeheads of my own. Any info on tank size is my primary concern for either 2, 3 or 4 of these species.
 
Hi,

The Rainbow snakehead, Channa bleheri, is a species of snakehead. Its type location is Dibrugarh, the most north-eastern area of Assam, India. It is known in Assamese as Sengeli.
This species is one of the favourite snakeheads for aquarists because of the colors that give it its common name. This species grows to 8 inches (20 cm), placing it in the informal group of dwarf snakeheads. Among these small snakeheads it is the only nestbrooder; all others are mouthbrooders.


Thanks,
