Fights of Common Snakehead (Channa striata)

[fishyman]

Two videos which I have seen.. Quite interesting... No cruel scenes though.

The common snakehead is Channa striata, aka chevron snakehead, striped snakehead, snakehead murrel.

The first video shows it displaying aggression against larger Channa micropeltes (you might want to mute the video while watching --- "heavy metal" type singing).

The second video shows a cute looking fish (I think it is a Climbing Perch; please correct me if I am wrong) attacking large Channa striata. Didn't know that the climbing perch could be so aggressive until now...

I've already watching the first one and also left a few comments there. Nice fight actually as the bigger one finally retreat. And from my experience keeping striata thats the fact lol. And they are definitely species tank only. Thanks to you because I've tried to watch it back but I forgot the vid title.

The climbing perch in the second video looks soooo cute; I am thinking of getting one !!
