hi,
have you got your channa?
i saw some c.aurantimaculatta (they called 'indian toman') at lfs at sg buloh.
still got 5 in their tank, each size is about 5". they got blue color along the bottom ,very much similar to the couple on your photo.

it's the lfs near the RRI/FRIM on jalan sg. buloh to shah alam/kg melayu subang.
sorry i didn't get the name.
if you come from sg. buloh towards kg melayu subang, its on LHS but before the entrance to RRI/FRIM. if you follow the road you'll come to a traffic light, turn left will led you to subang airport.
the price was i guz RM10 each only
the lfs selling goldfish and koi (with some ponds)

good luck!!! do inform me if you buy any.

Wah, a lot of people into toman nowadays. I find it hard to appreciate this fish .. Large carnivorous fish... I saw one about 4 feet long in a pond.

When I was a schoolkid I heard it can bite fingers off...

Anyway this channa is nice:

One of the more expensive ones, Channa Barca.

Soyadude,
That fish pictured is actually Chana aurantimaculata.... NOT C.barca as it claims. C.aurantimaculata I can get RIGHT NOW. Price is around about RM60/pc 8inch.

The REAL C.barca is trully trully rare. The only live photo I've seen is on Tom's site.... and we're talking 5figure sums in POUNDS!!!

Oopsie. Yes I first saw them on Tom Halvorsen's site. He's having the only pair in captivity in the WORLD. How cool is that?
