種の概要
From the waters of NE India comes Channa bleheri, a member of the family Channidae. A patient ambush predator that surveys its domain from cover and strikes in one burst. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 10.8–15.8 cm. Singles for life; a true pair is the exception. Over-filter, under-stock, and cover the tank like it owes you money. Maintain 22–27 °C at pH 6.5–7.5. Best suited to a keeper who can match its natural water.
