Not a lot of people know about the Channa Barca species of Snakeheads. However, the Barca Snakehead, as it’s more commonly known, is a highly-priced and coveted fish among serious aquarists.

The Barca Snakehead is native to the Brahmaputra river in India and Bangladesh. These fish are considered excellent fare by the local cuisine, but internationally, Barcas are coveted for their rarity, looks, and predatory nature. The species is listed as critically endangered by the IUCN red list.

Barca Fish aren’t the most well-documented species of the aquarium hobby. They’re rarely found in private tank setups, and there’s not a lot of research to be found. Nonetheless, one thing is clear regarding the species’ diet: they’re primarily carnivorous. You can find clues as to their diet preference from their morphology. These fish have long and powerful bodies, along with elongated dorsal fins. They’re also particularly known for the flattened shape of their heads and large mouths with rows of potent teeth.

As juveniles, Barca Fish generally tend to go after insects, snails, or plankton as a food source. Aquarists should note that even at such a young age, their teeth are powerful enough to break through the shells of snails to get to the meat inside.

Once these fish achieve adulthood and reach their maximum size, they’re able to take on bigger prey. These include crabs, fish, frogs, birds, shrimp, and even small aquatic animals. Notice how there’s no mention of the Barca Fish eating anything remotely plant-based.

In the wild, it’s not uncommon for these fish to go hunting for prey in groups when juveniles. That’s likely more to do with safety in numbers than being a community fish.

Once Barcas are sexually mature and have the advantage of their muscular bodies and mighty jaws, they prefer to live in solitude.

Anyone thinking of keeping this species in a private aquarium is advised to ensure it’s a single-species tank. Barca Fish are somewhat aggressive to members of their own kind or any other species. Housing them with smaller fish will spell doom for the undersized counterparts, and they’ll eventually end up on the Barca’s menu if the stress of living with this mighty creature doesn’t get them first.

Nice
I love it. It's a nice slim wallet. Nothing special, but looks really nice, works well. I've been using it for a month with no problems. It's nicely lined, seemingly well made, etc. I got a good price on it, so I'm happy.

Wonderfully made, but not well sized for US currency
This is a very nice slim billfold, but unfortunately, it's not well sized for US currency. Probably for Euros. US Dollars fit, but it's a touch too narrow across to easily insert a bill. So you'll have to very diligently straighten and align a greenback to make it fit.

Class and elegance
Color: Gold
I absolutely love this watch! My grandson also loved mine so I bought him one for Christmas. This is the 4th Citizen watch I have purchased. 2 are ecodrive and 2 are battery powered. I have to say I do like the battery powered watches better for their weight, lots lighter on your wrist than the ecodrive I regularly used to wear. This watch has taken a beating, as it seems like I'm always hitting the face on something, and has performed beautifully. I figured that I would've replaced the crystal by now but I haven't had to. My grandson admired and wanted mine, (I can't part with it because it has special meaning) so I bought him the identical model. I have worn mine in water, extreme cold, and out to dinner. It looks and performs beautifully. This watch is classy, elegant and beautiful and it's not a giant timepiece although you may have to take it to your local jeweler for band sizing. There's videos on u tube but I don't recommend trying that for taking links out. I say beautiful because as a woman wearing this watch it's not overwhelming and screaming look at me I'm wearing a man's watch. However this watch is handsome looking on men, my husband and grandson lol. The band is smooth, doesn't kink or pinch my wrist and when fitted properly it doesn't end up face down or sliding over and staying over on the outside of my wrist. Only drawback for me is I'm not used to the day dial and sometimes when setting the time bc some months are shorter I tend to be a day ahead, easy fix. I've gotten lots of compliments on this watch and would definitely buy it again
