Hello everybody,

I just got back to HK and went out to the fish street to get a stand for my tank and i also came back with a snakehead. I paid about $4US for it aand i dunno what it is. Its currently housed with my 10 inch channa micropeltes. I think i'm going t oget rid of that micro and start collecting rarer fish. Well I wanted to keep more than one fish in my tank. anyways here are some fotos can anyone id em? I'll try get some better pics of it tmr. Btw when i was looking at it in the LFS it had a light blue sheen to it, which is evident in the fotos below...

You are right. Its got some of its colour back and its obvious its an asiatica. However i dunno why when i saw it in the shop it had a slight blue colouring to it. Well it was hung in a bag Hong kong style so it could of been in the lights making it look like that... Will post more pics tmr...

how do u tell the diff between male and female? I see these fish in the live food markets in HK all the time..
 
i found this one little shop that has snakeheads hanging up in bags.. Well usually the only have one. The shopsso small it literally just on the side of the road. I've seen a 4 inch thin bar dat there for sale for $15US... I went back today to see if they had a dat but i came back with another bigger channa asiatica. Will post pics up soon when their colours come out, and when they come out more...
