Dwarf snakehead is a term coined by aquarists to describe a group of Channa snakehead fishes growing to about 25 cm (10 in) maximum. They are found in freshwater habitats (often streams) in South and Southeast Asia, and southern China. The following snakeheads belong to this group: * Channa andrao * * * * Channa bleheri * * Channa burmanica * Channa gachua * Channa harcourtbutleri * * * * * Channa orientalis * Channa ornatipinnis * * Channa pardalis * Channa pulchra * * * Channa royi * * Channa stewartii * *

  • Dwarf snakehead is a term coined by aquarists to describe a group of Channa snakehead fishes growing to about 25 cm (10 in) maximum. They are found in freshwater habitats (often streams) in South and Southeast Asia, and southern China. The following snakeheads belong to this group: * Channa andrao * * * * Channa bleheri * * Channa burmanica * Channa gachua * Channa harcourtbutleri * * * * * Channa orientalis * Channa ornatipinnis * * Channa pardalis * Channa pulchra * * * Channa royi * * Channa stewartii * * Some of these are borderline dwarf snakeheads, slightly surpassing 25 cm (10 in) in maximum length (e.g., C. pulchra has been called a dwarf snakehead, but may reach 30 cm or 12 in). In contrast, the smallest dwarf snakehead species are less than 15 cm (6 in). Several of these only recently received their scientific name, but were already known among aquarists before. Examples of this are C. andrao (described 2013, previously known as C. sp. "Lal Cheng" or "blue bleheri"), C. pardalis (described 2016, previously known as C. sp. "true blue" or "galaxy blue"), C. quinquefasciata (described 2018, previously known as C. sp. "five stripe"), C. torsaensis (described 2018, previously known as C. sp. "cobalt blue"), and C. brunnea (described 2019, previously known as C. sp. "chocolate bleheri"). A few dwarf snakeheads that are known from the aquarium trade remain undescribed, including: * Channa sp. "Burmese red rim rainbow" or "redfin". Similar to Channa gachua but has black dots on the body and fin edges are darker. * Channa sp. "fire and ice". Besides their commonality of being of small size, dwarf snakeheads generally are paternal mouthbrooders (confirmed in some species, suspected in others). An exception is the free-spawning C. bleheri where the eggs float to the surface and the parents take care of them (no mouthbrooding). Although several dwarf snakeheads are very close relatives, overall the group is not monophyletic. For example, the dwarfs C. burmanica and C. stewartii are phylogenetically much closer to the large C. barca (up to 105 cm or 3.4 ft) than they are to the dwarfs C. ornatipinnis, C. pulchra and C. stiktos.
