Thanks, I'll be leaving for Uni in a month and won't be back home till x'mas. Praying that my dad remembers to take care of him for me. Not too worried coz he's taught me everything i know about keeping fish. But sometimes he goes away for business trips for awhile

I've always assumed that my SH was a Bleheri or a rainbow snake head, but after lookin on the net at other rainbow snakehead i've noticed that they have a orange and black stripped fin tail. Or what ever its called and mine is like a blueish colour. I also read that it could be another species of snakehead all together, what species is my snkehead?
nah... its a Bleheri... i'm 90% sure it is.sqratch said:
Coloration differs. I did come across 2 bleheris today, one which was a copy of yours while the other a draker specimen with the orange and black tail.
only thing i could think of was diff in coloration of the sexes... didnt buy the pair as the darker specimen was dead unfortunately.
Thare is another dwarf SH that is very similer. Sometimes thought to be a sub species or the same species, Channa sp. Assam, was sometimes known as channa Bleheri blue as it has more blue in its colouring. only reaches 5" or so.sqratch said:
i took a closer look at my SH today and noticed he SOMETIMES has a think orange edge to his tail. Oh well i'll just say its a bleheri. He's pretty responsive, everytime i come into my room he'll come out of the cave. Have i said that already?
