when i was child, i thought only got one type of snakehead, haruan…hihi but now,i know snakeheas got so many species and some of them really colourfull, range from Africa,India, china to southeast Asia.
I know there’s so many snakehead species around malaysian waters. But i Don’t know is there’re someone who have such excellent picture of em out there!
Two thumbs up for u bro na cheers!
I’m just a form5 student and only have 9 years of fishing experience, so must beri tunjuk ajar!
Thanx for the compliment. Semua ikan kat atas ade dibela but ade yang dah takde dan lepas balik. Is there someone here want to hunt for other snakeheads beside haruan? let me know.
Next month I’ll be in Swk to catch snakeheads again,hopefully post a pics of the trip. My dream is to go Kalimantan and sumatera to catch very rare snakeheads; channa melanopterus/blackfinned snakehead and channa cyanospilos/bluespotted snakehead. hoipefully next year!
hi ,i once caught a black haruan with black eyes and dark purple abdomen and whole body very black .according to a ranger who was passing by it was called “haruan hitam”.wonder if anyone has caught this type of haruan before?
the shape of the body look like haruan rite? could be the channa melasoma/ black snakeheads or haruan palas. but in ur description purple abdomen, channa melasoma more to pale greenish/bluish
Oh my what a collection of our Malaysian Chana family! I am from sabah i once saw local folks in Tamu selling Haruan Harimau </font id=“red”>, but after looking at na_cheers superb collection of Haruan pic, i think its scientific name is Channa Bankanensis </font id=“red”>. BTW how did you catch all your haruans? Were the haruans you caught big?

Most of snakeheads i caught using hook and line method, using earthworm, but i wanna try casting it when i’ll go hunting again. channa bakanensis max about 25 cm,channa melasoma bout 30 cm. Is there any channa baramensis in Sabah?, i love to explore sabah one day.
I never really did explore sabah’s deep jungle river, swamps or lake yet, maybe i just explored the fringe only. [|)] Anyway, maybe one fine day when you are heading to sabah with a sense of exploration in mind, i will be the first in-line to join you!![:D]
certainly! You the 1st I’ll contact if i’m goin there. Sabah has one of the most treasure forest in the world, The Maliau Basin, a lost world where fauna and fauna are different from outside the basin.
