MALAYSIA BORNEO
Our LFS lack of variety of channas, mostly the common one can be found here. I found out that http://www.slipperylittlesuckers.com.my can help us to find and perhaps order some exotic channas. Perhaps if many ppl like to orders a specific channa,maybe he can help.so i need u guys to list what channas u like to have.

for me,

c.asiatica,c.spec assam,c.argus,c.punctata,c.steewarti.
 
i want an auranti...will check them out this weekend. i always wondering if the aquarium shop behind the Zoo Negara might have some exotic channas...anyone of you been there before?
 
oh yeah dude, my lfs here in taman tun have a bunch of juvenile argus about an inch or two, rm10 for a pair, i think those juveniles are argus or punctata or obscura...haha...not sure, but it stated there african snakehead....i bought a pair. i will post a picture later....u ID for me.
 
Auranti got sell at 'Jalan Pasar' LFS(near pudu), got a lot.selling for rm 78.

the one in taman tun, maybe a parachanna Obscura,because its from Africa. I have 1 juvenile obscura already.anyway, Argus from china and Punctata from India. yeah, a picture would be nice.

what is he?
 
hem, need a clearer picture. but i would guess its channa panaw or c.punctata,but i more towards c.panaw. definetly not parachanna obscura or c.Argus. channa panaw from Myanmar. AI( Aquatic International) in subang also sell this species for Rm 4 each.but its say from India.cannot rely those LFS for id unless the r pro. btw,i have one c.panaw at my home now, around 17cm.

this is a good site to compare C.Panaw and C.Punctata.

anyone else in malaysia here?
 
i just got back from a lfs somewhere sungai buloh/kota damansara, they have a dozen gachua,good size,healthy ones,good colours....rm20 each,waiting till end of this month when i get my salary, set up a new tank and get those gachuas.
 
gachuas fro rm 20? our locals gachuas more expensive than bleheri?hehe, better u catch for ur own, lots of our clearwater streams near mountains having this channas n they easy to catch using hook and line method. If i've caught some gachua. I'll give it to u for free.
