Red Maru Snakehead

Young juvenile stock of Red Maru Channa, also known as the Red Barito and Emperor Snakehead, prized for its future red and golden coloration that develops gradually with age. At this young stage, the fish shows subtle tones that will intensify over time with proper care and diet.

A powerful predatory species native to Southeast Asia, this snakehead is ideal for experienced keepers with large tanks and secure lids.

Note: Red lights required to highlight the red tones as the Red Maru Snakehead matures.

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".
