Looking for Dwarf Snakeheads

[nick.w]

O u live in hertfordshire! The lfs in bedfordshire: the japanese koi carp had them a while ago. It was one type of dwarf though. Also chiltern aquatics in harlington gets loads of oddballs.

 

[Opcn]

well, they are not banned in Alaska, and alaska is part of the US, there for they are not illegal in the US, because congress is so lazy that they dont make exceptions to the law where they are relevent unless you pay big bucks to campaign funds

I live in alaska? whats it going to do escape and swim 3000 miles to warm water? The only species that is federally banned is the northern snakehead, other than that thebans are state by state, useually as a result of people mixing up the species. There are red snake heads here too.

I need to move up there.

Hey there, i've just ordered a box of ten out here in nottinghamshire, maybe you would be interested in one? They are yet to arrive, and i will offer a very good price on them dependant on how many survive the flight over, give me a pm if interested.

Do they? i didn't see them last time i went (which was last Thursday) i could only see the asian snakeheads or channa aureolineatus (which i can't find any info on)

Hey there, i've just ordered a box of ten out here in nottinghamshire, maybe you would be interested in one? They are yet to arrive, and i will offer a very good price on them dependant on how many survive the flight over, give me a pm if interested.

Where in nottinghamshire? and how far is that from Hertfordshire?how much are you selling them for?

Does anyone have any info on Channa Bleheri eg. temperament, compatible species etc.

Thanks for the info

I could part with two for £10 each, im from worksop, half hour away from sheffield, sorry dont know how far that is from hertfordshire, i can let you knlow when i get to work, im expecting the forst ones in 2 weeks time.

perhaps the most laid back channa i know of, can be kept with a variety of fish so long as they are not too docile or small

 

[Paul_MTS]

there's some here, bit expensive though at 40 incl pnp-

out of interest oddball do you often import fish??

 

[Oddball]

Not really no...........its an option that my lfs has only just extended to myself. He imports direct, and provided i pay for the whole of the freight and fish, he allows me to order them through him. This is no extra fee, provided i dont abuse! He knows its rare stuff he cant normally stock, and is loathe to stock, and i do give him 10% normally, to make it worth his while.

mmmmm if I pull of this tigris we've been discussing I'm checkin the import lists for black arrowanas next!
