[simonas]

I'm going with aurantis were they blacky yellow or black with white blue dots?

 

[england]

asiatica
sp assam<big possibility>>>
Parachanna africana<highly unlikely>
aurantimaculata

However alot of lfs seem to name them something which sounds good, one fish near me actually had some snakeheads in a while ago but they were named like greens/spotted/big spots and so on

 

[JA5ON]

channa asiatica it is just got home and went to type the name in for them and my mind went blank. 12to14in what tanks size would i be lookin at for them as in a group of 6?

 

[england]

This group of 6,is it a plan to get a breeding pair or having a pack,so to speak?

 

[JA5ON]

if a get a pair a get a pair just thinkin about it at the min dont have the money but realy like the look of them

 

[england]

ok, well best way to get pair is via a group,then rehome rest, they can be pretty aggressive,ive known adults killing others when they start to breed,

 

[JA5ON]

yer i have a group of assams at the min and i think they need spliting up it is goin to be my second group of snakeheads just fancy something abit bigger

 

[simonas]

I had asciata last year they were the shyest channa I kept, frustratingly so and also very aggreessive. beautiful though when fully coloured up

 

[JA5ON]

my assams used to be shy now they just come st8 and see me. has any one seen a price on fire and ice i thought the ones i seen were over priced x

 

[england]

I beleive they can fetch quite a price still, have a look at wildwoods and see if they have any and how much

 

[JA5ON]

think i seen it them at 70quid think alot over what a would pay for them
