[hmongboy9161]

[bakernade]

nice channas! yours are very lively, mine are so lazy and inactive. ):

[JOHECARI]

WOOOW!

WONDERFOL

[PCIeracitano]

First of all that is not a snakehead, It's a gobby.....all types of snakeheads are not bottomdwellers.....Look up Gooby and you'll see, not sure how to spell it. These fish only grow about 4-5 inches.....

[andrew1980uk]

@PCIeracitano Sorry Mate but thats not a Goby Its 100% Channa Bleheri or close variant. I been keeping Snkeheads for about 5 years and Bleheri for the last two years and they spend 50% of the time either lying on the substrate or lying under a bodlog i found most of the subtropical snakeheads tend to be Bottom Dwelling

[ma5t3Rm1ND5]

@PCIeracitano These are not "GOBY." These are called dwarf snakeheads by the way. And they grow up to a foot unlike the other giant snakeheads. Do your research on gobys again.. I don't have time to explain for people like you.

[customlegokarl]

@PCIeracitano no they grow to 7.8 inches

[actinicblue]

beautiful species they are. quite adaptable to most water condition. my very first aqurium fish was a snakehead when I was only about 5 year old. it was bought from the open market for food. i convinced my grandmother to spare the littlest one from the bunch that she had. I love those fishes - i wish that i can have one or two again.

[VinLwj]

Yup, they aren't fussy eater...they will eat anythings that could fit into their mouth.

[alucardts]

wonderful fish and this colorful variety is especially beautiful and rare...you're going to have to find a new home for your betta very soon, it's an easy prey for the greedy snakeheads even though they're still young.

[VinLwj]

Thanks.

All of the fishes in this tank had no longer with me.

[nielzyman]

how much gallon is your tank?

[VinLwj]

That tank is 2ft x 1ft x 1ft.

[killasheen15]

@VinLwj Nice video , where can i gat a snakehead fish from .

[smileycheek07]

Beautiful.Brilliant!! Does anyone know what to feed them?

[VinLwj]

You can feed them with blood worms, small fishes, shrimps, insects and any foods that can fit into their mouth.

[wollylover101]

ur soppost to kill mthem stupid fish its illigal to have them as a pet in the U.S

[VinLwj]

Unfortunety I am Malaysian, some snakehead species are origin here such as the Giant snakehead, Empiror Snakehead and etc.

Since my country are one of the origin area of the snakehead, so we are free to keep snakeheads as pets and snakehead are very commond food fish too.

But this Rainbow Snakehead are not origin at my country, they are from India.

[zajdabneeg]

lol

[llamalord111]

Just because something is illegal in the U.S. does not make it illegal in the rest of the world, besides they make great pets :D

[Genokat]

The U.S isnt the world. Dont Tell Us What To Do.

[idunnosia]

yo...rainbow snakehead comes from india my friend

[Sabrermk42]

it comes from india

[twasbrillig33]

lol! they're in with a beta! ahah! I would never have imagined they were so small by the video still. even the beginning of the video completely fooled me. Beautiful fish. Rather intollerant of each other (or the one is) but leave the beta alone it looks like, strange.

[VinLwj]

I think this Channa Bleheri got the season, and not is not the season.

Normally the price is around RM18-25.

[tanzhuzhen]

[s0nic777]

[VinLwj]

Local fish shop near Zoo Negara Malaysia.

[bobbyjones1205]

the are so many of them in our market here in manila, philippines, i saw one aound 20inches long,,,, this are very strong fish...

[STPHNOWNAGE]

they remind me of a hyper active bichir.

pretty sweet

[techstyle123]

ive just got 1 today lovley fish my snakehead eats frozen lance fish

[VinLwj]

Yup, they will eat anything that fit into their mouth size.

[TReMoRZz69]

mine used to pick fights with my greenterror. It once jumped from its tank to my feeder tank.

[VinLwj]

Oh, i got them from my Local Fish Shop.

Most of the snakehead species are easy to get from Local Fish Shop because i am in Malaysia.

For Channa Bleheri & Channa Auranti need to depend on some luck, but not very hard to get.

[TReMoRZz69]

are these aggressive and will they eat feeder?

[VinLwj]

They are aggressive to smaller fishes and will eat feeders that can fit in their mouths, they mostly feed on bloodworms and mealworms.

[hermandrum]

r u from monsterfishkeeper??

[VinLwj]

Yup, i am from monsterfishkeeper, but i am also from many fish forums too.

[15GreenTreeFrogs]

wow, do u need any special things for them to survive?

[VinLwj]

No, just good water condition will keep them well.

But suggest keep them with more cooler water (22-25)since they are sub-tropical species.

[xcoffeinex]

They're so vicious!

[atsven]

How big are they now? The betta is still alive today?

[VinLwj]

They are now 4+ inches...

The betta had been removed for sometimes ago, it is very fine now.
