They look fab Nelly

do you have a pair? if so how do you sex these?

do yo also know how you sex the PULCHRA, i WANT SOME SEXY SEXY time in my tanks so neeed tro check for pairs.
 
hehe no not yet, col from mfk sexed them for me, told me who was in what bag and that they seemed to have paired up in his tank before he sent me!!! i had the three in together and it was same as with the ornate's these two harrassed the third to much so i added the third to my 150us leaving these two only, also the 4 pulchra are in the 150us all doing great.......I will mail col and see how he sexe's them and let you know, think it is very difficult, i can't see any difference at all except the mouth on the ornate seem's wider in the male than female and male's more chunky
 
well well i have been watching my assam's preforming mock spawning, just as the ornatipinnis did before to spawning :shifty:

Absolutely love the first ones fins. Such pretty colors.
 
Hey nell, looking good as usual. I have a 40gal an a 62 I am looking to stock with the first Channas, they are the dwarf varient right? I love their colours. Just wondering cos I've never seen them in Pier aquatics or anywhere else, how much are they? Would they be ok with a breeding pair of Angels or/and Bristlenoses?
 
Not sure on there price's as i swapped 10 ornate babie's for 3 sp assam's/2 pluero/1obscura/4 pulchra....

They are dwarf snakehead's and a pair are fine in a 3ft.......
