    Thank you . I use a nikon D7000 mostly with a 105mm micro lens or my normal 50mm lens. My only trick is an external flash i place above the tank .

    Re: Channa collection

    Are your fire and ice specimens kept subtropical as well? Any shots of those?

    Hi, yes, kept in subtropical conditions. He is currently a little shy as i was going to shoot him to share here. He got scared by me setting up my things, so maybe in a few days i'll get better shots. For now, these 2 were all i could manage. I thought they were cool though. My cryptycoryne looked like flames, befitting for my Channa fire & ice . Enjoy!






    Maybe i can get more shots tomorrow night .

    Some new shots . C stewartii, showing himself. Truly amazed by his beauty on first sight at the fish shop. Bought him and placed him in cold water like he deserves, now among my other channas, his blue and beauty is unrivaled















    Thanks for viewing

    Re: Channa collection

    Wow updates! Amazing animal. Amazing setup. Amazing shots!

    I saw snakeheads at c328 the other day. Wanted to get one but was still reluctant. Perhaps not yet confident to own one. Furthermore, those bags were not labelled to make identifying the species easier. Saw them in already sealed bags right at the back where the shrimps are. Was actually shocked to learn that they are sold this way rather than in usual shop display tanks.

    By the way Bro Kai.. Where do you usually shop for your Channa collection? I'm going for Gachuas. Not sure if the ones at c328 are of that particular species. I might get the species mixed up as some juvenile does not resemble their adults in terms of body markings. Right? Does this apply to Gachuas as well?

    Hi, thanks again . Yes this is one of my newest snakehead. I have 2 more waiting to be photographed, maybe will update tonight again .

    The snakeheads at C328 is Channa pulchra. Went there last weekend, only left C pulchras, subtropical but very beautiful. And yes, many shops sell them in closed bags like that, i bought my recent C pulchra that way as well from yishun.

    As mentioned before, i shop usually at Clementi, Pasir ris and seaview. Yishun rarely, as it is very far for me. Most of the time is Pasir ris. For C gachuas, i think aquaone at pasir ris has some now.

    You are right that the body markings do not resemble the adults, however, this mostly applies to very young fries. Most of the time in shops, Channas being sold are already quite large and displaying adult colouration. This is an exception for C micropeltes and C diplogramma, where they are most of the time sold in their juvenile colours.

    Re: Channa collection

    These are the most beautiful channa shots I have ever seen!! Way to go on influencing a new legion of channa keepers with your super poisonous shots Bro Kai! It appears that these are pictures taken by some Nat Geo explorer in the wild. I can't believe they are from home aquaria! I simply love the completely natural setup, where everything is made exactly the way the fish like it
