Golden Snakehead

Young juvenile stocks of Golden Snakehead (Channa stewartii), a beautiful Snakehead that is smaller in size and displays golden and turquoise markings that intensify as it matures.

Unlike larger relatives, this is a manageable-sized species that thrives in medium aquariums, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts who appreciate the character of snakeheads without needing a monster-tank setup.

Native to northern India and Nepal, this species prefers cooler, well-oxygenated water and develops vivid body patterns under stable conditions.

Fish Size Guide:

The 'Maximum Size' outlined below is the length this fish can reach as a full grown adult. For the actual size please use the select menu above.

Discus.ae prefers younger stock for their better ability to adapt to new water parameters and higher tolerance against transport. On rare occasions you may receive larger specimens when small fish are unavailable, however the smallest should be expected unless the size is noted as "Large" or "Adult".
