haven't owned one my self but would love to get one. I recently got two asiaticas who aren't doing well. Both sick and i think might have parasites. Treating them with some melafix now. If you can get one you should. One of the not so common channas

hey sqratch id steer away from melafix man and go with some maracyn or something up the temps and let their immune system fight it off. Sorry for the off topic reply, but i think you might have some more success this way.

I figured instead of me telling you, I would just give you a link for some good info. from the USGS (united States Geological Survey), and spare my fingers, LOL.

Nice fish, they seem to have smaller heads than most other SH's. I had one that loved to bury in the gravel.

I had one that actually seemed to have a big head, and seemed quite bulky compared to most channas, especially at only 6/7 inches. They are mean ****ers too, and can swallow fish half their size.
