Yes, the ID is correct. ever kept these beauties in a comm before. They are the most docile snakeheads I have seen. Can keep in a comm tank on their own and also with others. No problems so far. But the drawback for me was these fellas only took feeders....mine didnt want MPs too.

Hi Victor, what's up. Long time no see.
It is around 10 inches.
Can grow up to 16 inches, just nice for me.

Sure will keep a look out for you.
Is the size around 10 inches ok for you or are you looking for something bigger ?
