I meant no offence in saying they are not rare, and your right that rarity is relative. I live in canada ALL snakeheads are extremely rare finds! And I'd consider finding a platinum here rare as well (only ever been imported to once) . i just meant over all they are not as rare as suppliers make them out to be. Still great finds !
I also would recommend against mixing channa species the end result will be dead fish. You'll see all sorts of videos of snakeheads in mixes, or huge fish in ridiculously small tanks that still look picture perfect. Nobody advertises the disastrous results that came after the fish settle into there new home.
Their are quite a few varieties of emperors they have a broad range and localities are all a bit different. I find them all quite attractive , my favorits are the Blue emperors .
Not my pic snatched it from another thread, Blue Emp!
That's a beautiful Emperor Snakehead. Its flowers are glowing. I have seen Channas of the same species kept in a pair and in a group. Only once awhile different species of Channas were seen to be mixed.
But the common rule is that they should be raised together instead of being introduced as adults. Even then channas are unpredictable and a death of one of the channas should not be a shocking event.
Here is a video of a beautiful pair of Channa Marulioides.

Channa do not mix. Only mix posivble is same species ( and it is always a risk )
