Channa-ornatipinnis Have Laid Eggs..drawf Snakeheads

[england]

Iam over the moon, but its caught me unaware......I have nowhere to raise the fry if the eggs do hatch but, Col said to me there mouthbrooder's but the

eggs are scattered at the top,mostly under the food ring, Maybe because its there 1st time they do not know what to do...or do they do this with the eggs

then take in the fry once they have hatched, Lets keep are fingers crossed that we actually get fry, that would be amazing, Any tips on what to do? leave the

light on as usual or turn it off and cover up tank, water changes or leave as is, i was told snakeheads do not like waterchanges very much............

This is great news to anyone who know's about snakeheads esp ornatipinnis as they have never ever breed in captivity before or so iam told by snakehead

exsperts so this is a first

with out further ado i present to you pictures...............

knew i could rely on you for the truth but yes they seriously are great fish and something very different to look at keeping as there drawfs so can keep them in a 3ft<solo>or larger more.....and ofcourse no heating so added bonus
