Chaunna Bleheri

[AquaJason]

Hi, I saw some rainbow snakeheads(Chaunna bleheri) in my lfs many weeks back and thought nothing of them because I automatically assumed they would grow big, plus I had my mind on Chaunna orientailis, hopefully one day. Although just read that the rainbow snakehead only grows 8inch max is this true, what do you think of them? and what do you believe is a suitable tank size for one.

Its only about 3.5inch max at the moment, just really curious about them tbh.
Thanks

Always worth trying Wharf Aquatics in Nottingham, they have a lot of predatory and oddball fish

I paid £12.95 for my dwarf snakehead (bleheri) at 3 inches from trimar. They are based in cornwall in the u.k but also have a website with a full stock list and prices (trimar.co.uk) and do next day (between 8am - 12) mail orders to mainland u.k for £12 odd. They have a good range of fish - colwater, tropical and marine. They also do reptiles. Very good service too.
