possibly the best channa in the world?

I figured this was a good way to get ashdavid to post some pics of his!

I do protest that if they weren't so rare people would consider them equal at least. Undoubtably barcas look fantastic but I'm not convinced we don't overhype them just becase they're so rare. And certainly in terms of value for money plus the fact my auranti lives quite peacefully with a variety of tankmates from cichlids to bichirs to a mbu I reckon that makes him pound for pound the best channa.

Marvin - I'm someone who appreciates fish for what they are, not their rareness, but I think barcas look incredible. Hands down the best looking channa. Then auranti, then pleuro.

Also barcas are apparently more peaceful than aurantis

nice, would love to have a big african tank with some african sh or asian tank of sh.

 

[rumblesushi]

The Asian snakeheads are much better.

Looks good! I can't think of any better looking sh.

All snakeheads are stunning in my eyes but if you want cheap and stunning channa bleheri you want not cheap and out of this world you want barca.
