Top predator — peaceful only with the unswallowable
原産地
Myanmar
種の概要
Channa burmanica, a member of the family Channidae, is native to Myanmar. Its name is honest: this fish breathes air, so a tight lid and a shaded surface are survival gear. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 6–8.8 cm. Juveniles group; adults rule a territory alone. Give it cover, clean water and a lid that latches — snakeheads explore any gap above the waterline. Maintain 22–27 °C at pH 6.5–7.5. A solid choice for a well-planned community tank.
