Megahalya leopards

[Michael colquhoun]

Hi guys

I've reserved 6 of these beauties today to be collected later in the week.
I know they're a relatively newly discovered species but can't seem to find hardly any info on them.
Does anyone have any advice/experience on them?
Cheers michael

They are in the Channa stewertii complex , have a reputation for being quite aggressive toward each other so lots of space and devote is a must . Also should be kept in cooler temps , the lower end of the sub tropical range is best as they are a higher altitude species.

Very similar care for any of the subtropical species , just assume they'll be a bit more aggressive and less tolerant to heat.

Thanks for the reply DC, just got them home and 2 are considerably bigger than the rest so will have to keep an eye on them.
