If you look at the link there are some nice looking snakeheads. In India. FIELD TRIP!

I’m in for sure. I could eat Indian or Thai food every day of the week. Love both cuisines.
Precisely, I'm admittedly kind of a softie about such things nowadays, I killed enough fish growing up commercial fishing for salmon & halibut.
Barrett you could be the first to post the thread "Pellet Training Channa Barca"!
Subbed already. I will watch your progress and live vicariously through you. As will many others.
Interestingly, my side also suddenly had a few channa barca on sale
I saw 1 in mainland tropical farm last weekend
And this ad also came out couple of days ago

Wow that is interesting, maybe breeding efforts are indeed getting more successful. But that fish must have been sold really quick lol -- Galantspeedz you didn't....?

Not me.... not ready for channa yet.... I love to put my hands in the tank....
We do have many fish keepers keeping various species of channa though...
And baby channa micropeltes is my favourite feeder fish
Just got a reply from my fish shop friend -- he has this Channa Barca at his shop in Bangkok; price he initially offered was 55,000 Thb (~US $1,760 -- about $200-400 more than I paid for each of my 2 Malaysian Gold Xback Aros, and about the same price as a high quality 10"-11" Super Red), though I reckon it could be negotiated down somewhat. But again personally not really interested, awesome as the fish is.
Esp. at this price it suggests even more that captive breeding efforts have been successful at least to some degree, so perhaps we'll see more and more on the market in not too distant future (and it would be a positive example of how the aquarium hobby can help save some species from possible extinction).
