Actually I like the fierce white bellied big fellow... hahaha But I know very hard to keep as need a 5 footer and also will have big problem cleaning up the tank, it attacks hands that sticks in, unsafe when have kids ard. So get smaller species. kekeke

Beautiful and aggresive channa species. Careful when comming them, they may tear ur tankmates up. Their common name is golden cobra or something like that, a very colourful channa . Finally more hoobyists keeping channas . When u say u like the white bellied snakehead u mean channa micropeltes, giant snakehead?

Not gona com it. It will be a lone ranger. heehee
Yes, micropeltes..... Its super agressive.... Youtube got a big chunk of this fish video... eating rats... tearing up fishes half its size etc... heehee

Yeah better not com haha.May want to decorate the tank tho. Is it a bare tank? and how big is ur tank now?
Those youtube videos may be entertaining but they are cruel. They feed innapropriate foods like bass. I mean goldish all these can but bass is not a feeder...

Currently 2 feet, will upgrade in 5 months time... current size abt 7 inches.
kekeke
Those videos, it may be cruel, but sometimes think of it, it may also be due to availability of feeders. Overseas, may need to drive for hours to get to an aquarium and doesn't mean you can get feeders. Maybe thats why some ppl choose feeders from nearby pet shop.
I always try to avoid live feeds infact.
hopefully within a week, this joker will take krills or sinking pellets.

I call it joker because even though i covered the tank, at 5pm+ today, discovered the fish not in tank. search ard and luckily found it, and quickly put it back. The body quite dry liao. heehee. Dunno how the hell it shoot out.
