They have two beautiful Channa bleheri at my local aquashop, $60 each, between 4-6 inches. Does it sounds ok? Not to expensive? I have never bought/own a snakehead before.
 
Hmm, in the US I would say thats not too expensive. As jelly says they usually cost £10-20 here in the UK. Are they definitely bleheri as I've seen at least 4 different species labelled as bleheri in the last few months....look for orange spotting in the tail. If there's no spotting, they're not bleheri :thumbsup:
 
Not the best pic. Taken with a cell phone. They even call it channa sp. assam. I will go and check them out again tomorrow. Thanks.

No, it's not my snake but gaboon's are well known to swallow there pray as they take them. I love the pic. It's "cute".
 
its hard to tell what species that is, from the pic. Bleheris for 60 bucks is a steal in california, as they are not available.
 
Well, somehow the bleheri I have seen were all darker, with more colored lines. And that is expensive for a bleheri. I bought 2 pleurophthalma (4") a few months ago for 25$ CDN each...
