nice channa. how big does this species get to???

 

[hurricane_redbone]

this species is said to hit like 65 cm...
but sources differ cuz they are the most common species...
and they are often confused with channa marulius (cobra snakehead) which gets much longer

Congrats, mb_barton! Good pickup on these 6 "emperors". C. marulioides, one of my own personal favorites... a good species to make up a channa comm. tank! You will not be disappointed. Please keep us posted and updated as they grow and progress.
