been keeping this kind of snakehead for at least 5 to 6 months now. hope you guys could help me id it properly
will add more recent pics in a few days
in my observation, its a very shy type of channa. always hiding under the driftwood. black in color and have a white underbelly as seen in the picture. likes to eat shrimp and small fish. has just grown 2 inches at least since i got it. from 9 inches to 12 inches more or less. when stressed turns orange/brownish shade with black bars.
unlike my micro which grew from a 4 inch juvy to an 18 inch eating machine in the last 3 months i had it. sadly, it died a few days ago, committed suicide
lesson learned, always keep tank cover.
also have a few questions for the experts
a. what is the growth rate of a maruloides?
b. when do they show their flower patterns?
