My channas

[Auranti]

Hi thanks for the comments and compliments. Truly appreciate them .
A few more pics. Just took them this morning. So, first up is the harcourtbutleri's parent. I think this one is the male? Cos the other one has a slightly rounder belly. Im sorry but i only have pic of this parent.
Forgive the quality, their tank is extremely dark.

Some photos of my ornate and auranti (again). Since they were out swimming.
Ornate's tank is a little dirty

I'm envious of you ornatipinnis , I've wanted a group for a while but haven't had any luck getting them.

Do you have a pair of aurantimaculata or just the female ?

 

[Auranti]

Its a female? I had it sexed as a male . But yeah its only him/her in the tank.

As for the ornatipinnis, they dont come by very often here as well. They are on the more uncommon side. I tried placing 2 ornates together but one of them got trashed. But its recovered and doing extremely well now, both of them.

Really Nice Channa's but my favourite is the Channa Pleurophalma

 

[Auranti]

Thanks. I like pleuros too, but in order to keep a group fo them, large space is required. I wish i can use the space in my living room for them though, but i cant.

So my most flashy finned channa decided to showcase herself.

And who can resist the auranti. Especially when he's always out for a shoot.
