Offtopic ,but I don't think you had a C. barca. I could be wrong, but at this present time I know of every barca that has been caught and none have gone to america. How much did you pay for your fish?
BTW, barca's are very passive snakeheads and will not attack other fish in my experience, it quite the opposite, they will hide in a corner when other fish are in the tank. I have 4 right now ranging from 8" to 24".
i have a 9 inch albino channa striata and i had that foo since he was only 2 inch 3 months ago. when i first got him, i put him in the same tank with the 3 inch tiger oscar. The oscar punked the SH for like 2 months until it got to 6 inch. Oscar is about 5 inch now.
The weird thing is i added a albino oscar, albino clown knife, pacu and a pleco in the tank also.
I would've thought the SH will murder the newcomers but instead he picks on the tiger oscar only.
Now its to a point that the oscar's body is full of scratches and alot of visible wounds...
The question is... is it normal for things like this to happen?
its funny because he lets all the other fish eat the feeder fish with him but he absolutely refuse to share with the tiger oscar and drives him to the corner of the tank and make sure he doesn't move...
anywaise give me some info.
depending on how things go, i would prolly be giving the tiger oscar away before he dies from stress or gets eaten.
fish are not capable of "revenge".
I was going to say the same thing, Marlboro - you didn't have a barca. There's only over a handful of them in captivity, and ash has most of them.
4 now ash? Jesus christ
Delgado - I disagree. Fish are capable of revenge. I've seen fish hold grudges against another fish a couple of times.

As said before I think it was no Barca probably an Aurantimaculata as they were often sold as barca a few years ago. On the rarity front they arn't quite as rare as we thought. I have seen an article in a UK magazine about a trip to Asia for a bit of fishing and they came across a supplier with 7 of them with a picture so definatley Barca.
I don't think Fish engage in revenge. Its probable a continual terrortorial dispute and when the lesser becomes the greater it would seem revenge had been taken.

There are only 15 specimens that have been caught so far. There is only one supplier that has these fish and to my knowledge he caught a a handful a couple of months back, these have mostly been sent to Japan. They are still very rare and very, very difficult to catch.
And who knows when the next batch will be caught, but I do know that these fish will never become mainstream fish like other once rare fish, unless someone breeds them and that is a possibility as there are two people in the world who have pairs.
