My channa Asiatica,

[-DC-]

Was playing around with lights trying too get some pictures of this fish. I thought I'd share some pic's that didn't turn out too badly.

Apparently they are not very common in aquariums , I'm wondering if it might just be that this fish is very hard too take pictures of lol! She doesn't stay still for the camera and prefers low light if i hook up bright lamps she just hides.

Here's a few that turned out ok

Not really uncommon though.

Used to go fishing for them here in Japan.

Uncommon in Canada, illigal in the state's so guess it depends where your from as with most species lol Also i find all the ones i see pic's of online are tiny youngsters i'd love too see ore pictures of adults in captivity if anyone else has some too share!

Have you ever caught the red spotted variety? i hear they come from japan i want some for my collection, As well as more normal asiatica. Would you consider fishing and shipping them this way
