The Beautiful Snakehead is a fascinating predatory fish from Myanmar and is scientifically also called Channa pulchra. The habitat of the Beautiful Snakehead Fish is the headwaters of the Kyeinthali Chaung River, where it inhabits the weedy riparian areas. Therefore, with its ability to breathe atmospheric oxygen, it survives unreal conditions. It can easily manage very low oxygen concentrations and high temperatures. In its habitat it buries itself in the substrate during dry periods..

Snakeheads have an accessory respiratory organ, which allows them to breathe outside of the water for a long time.

Snakeheads will need a strong, tight-fitting lid on their aquarium as they will sometimes jump or get carried away while hunting live fish.

Species specific aquariums are recommended as they are highly predatory and aggressive; although they can coexist with a few of the largest cichlids (Gars are usually a safe bet), large catfish, and various large Plecos. Tank mates should be chosen carefully and should comparable in size as adults.

Snakeheads are ferocious, predatory carnivores and mainly eat massive amounts of live fish, but also eat frogs, insects and crayfish in the wild. In the aquarium they should be fed a constant supply of live fish, but they will also accept live earth worms, frogs, crickets, and dry foods.
