Little snake head?

[SiestaSkyy]

is there such a thing as a snake head that dosnt get 4' long? if so what kind? if not in one of the other threads someone said "Micros" have the largest teeth. anyone have a picture of one of those? how big do they get?

I believe that the channa bleheri is a smaller snakehead... i could be wrong.

Micros are the redline, giant snakehead that get 3-4 feet. Bleheri are a smaller species that max out around 8. I think orientals get 5in.

gachuas are prolly the most common small snakehead, they get like 6" long

There are loads of dwarfs,

Gachua can range from 5" to 10" because there are many varients and they have a very large distribution. Some may well be different species currently named as Gachua.

The smallest is probably Sp. Assam which reaches 5", Bleheri is not much bigger probably 6", there are loads under 10".
