No this is not ANOTHER order gone wrong for me, praise the big guy upstairs :D I have some young dwarf snakes come about,
channa bleheri and channa "himalayas"
himalayas as you can guess is from the base of the himalayan mountain region, and is somewhat of a rarity in the trade, and a lot of doubt is placed on its actual scientific name. This is due to it being a suspected off shoot of the five stripe channa (apparently only just imported to the uk) found in this area so many are unsure of it being a subspecies or one in its own right. This fish is best suited to sub tropical climates, and reaches and adult size of 6-8inch
Channa bleheri is quite the cutey, around eight to ten inch is big for an adult, youngsters exhibit beautiful red and purple colouration, fading to red dorsals on adult males and a purple sheen to females' flanks. This is one of the true "walking" channa, capable of moving from one lake to another simply by crawling away, crazy huh :huh:
In any case they are £2, yes just £2 each as mine have bred (be wary of himalayas as the male killed off all the others in the tank) himalayas was a shock as i only have had them for a month but hey, they were both consenting so no harm done :D

your selling them hey. i have been looking in all the LFS for a dwarf snake head none of which seem to have on hand.
how much would shipping be 2 canada?

If you could pay for shipping you could have as many of them as you want! Normally from India to the uk its about £25ish, dependant on what your moving.
I could definitely get you the channas, will grow them for a week or two so they are less fragile for the journey, just gimme a nod when your ready, also an indication of how many of them you would want would help me calculate the price
