beautiful snakehead. Use to have one (see my avatar) but it died. Heard they grow to about 9 inches but i've heard of some growing larger. Like all snakeheads need to have access to the surface or they will drown. need any more specific info just ask
Common names: golden snakehead; Assamese snakehead; sengalee (Assam, India; Talwar and Jhingran, 1992); helae (Nepal).
Temperature range: No specific information. Native range is about 22-27o N, indicating a warm temperate to subtropical species.
Maximum size: 25 cm / 10 inches
Channa stewartii (Golden Snakehead) should be kept in an aquarium with slow moving water and some plants. The aquarium should also containe a few hiding places. Channa stewartii (Golden Snakehead) can tolerate low oxygen conditions in water because they are air breathers from an early age. But the will if prevented from surface access when the are adult die like all other snakeheads. as stated by Euge.
