Nice! Where do you guys get colourful snakeheads from? I have only seen channa striata(common snakehead) and bullseye snakehead (channa marulius)...

bro presario,

male usually abit dark on the body and the fins colours are more intense compare to the female

my gachua pair took a very long time to get along, once the pair get along, they will start to get rid of other gachuas, they pair will chase other gachua off, very aggresive to others, they even killed smaller gachuas(my case- 4cm gachuas), that's what happen to my gachua group

i do have a single gachua right now, around 6cm, mostly female

hope that helps u

bro bensow,
i caught from wild

here's the place

Last week, I asked this hobbist from Switzerland, "How do you sex Channa Gachua?"

His answer was : " You put them together, you get baby fishes, you've got one pair!"

CAnt tell if mine's a male/female, no other fish to compare with (doesnt really matter what sex it is. I'm happy to have it alone, less violence )

lol

i'm considering to give up my pair in future... no time to take care, once i made up my mind i let you know

they were the last pair from the area i caught (i think so), hope someone breed them!
