Forest snakehead

The Forest snakehead (Channa andrao) is a species of fish characterized by its vibrant coloration, primarily a striking blue or turquoise along with dark vertical stripes. It originates from the Northeastern regions of India, thriving in forest streams and small rivers. Recognizable by its elongated body and pointed head, this species remains relatively small compared to other members of the Channa genus, making it an attractive choice for aquarium enthusiasts. Despite its stunning appearance, the Forest snakehead is not widely known in the hobby, partly due to its rarity and specific habitat requirements, making it a prized species among dedicated aquarists seeking unique and exotic fish.
