This is breathtaking. I heard that Marulioides from different locations have their specific traits.

Watching this has completely changed my view on them. WHAT A BEAUTY!

The video starts by showing Channa Micropeltes and then what I believe is Channa Lucius. And then it stuns you with beautiful variety of Emperor Snakeheads.

Great fishes!

With the marulioides everything had started for me.
I had a normal community tank and saw them at the lfs. (he said they will stay small, 30cm)
I bought a group and they ate all my fishes in a few days.
From that day on i had only monsterfishes in my tanks.
Now with much more experiences i would love to get a small group again (the circle closes)
My favorite lfs try to get a few and maybe they are in my tank next week, we will see.

regards Malte

Awesome. Do you have any pictures? What happened to them?
 
I had 5 or 6 of them in a 2m tank.
My tank got a crack and i sold all of my fishes to a friend.
(one died with one fish from my comm stuck in his mouth, they were very aggressive)
This was maybe 10 years ago.
I saw one big pair from my group about 2 years ago wich was breeding regulary, the size was maybe 50-60cm.
I dont know what happened to the other ones.
I remember they had a nice blue shine when they were young and the pattern changed very often from bright to dark.
No pictures availabel sorry.
When they arrive next week i will take a picture.
