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.

Fits perfect by my sink. All my items worked in there. The only thing is I had to use zip ties to hold bar on for hanging my dishcloth.

Great Design, Great Value
Color: Silver, Color: Silver
Sturdy, simple & well designed. It’s crafted with practicality in mind. The paper towel rod is accented with a circle ring on the top that makes it easy to lift and move around. It’s a very hassle free design and one that motivated me select it over the other options & I’m glad I did. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Good buy!!
Color: Silver
Very nice well balanced paper towel holder. I have three honorary grandkids that come over and they always struggle with the roll of paper towels. This has made it a lot neater and easier to work with for them. Good quality and attractive.

THIS is the BEST holder--who knew there were better ones?
Color: Black
THIS ONE IS PERFECT. This holder is the simplest design and works so well. You just slide the paper towels over the ring, use the ring to move from spot to spot, and the base edges are perfectly smooth. THIS was well thought-out. Bravo. I already sent back a couple of these paper towels holders--but this one is the right one! You wouldn't think that some of them would be constructed with sharp edges or would have no way to move the holder around, but many are not constructed poorly. One had such sharp edges on the base I knew I'd cut myself. So this one is the one for a safe, simple, elegant, easy use. We got ours in black to match our kitchen--perfect.
