not seen any for a while dude. I ordered mine in from europe. there's loads floating around on the continent but not so many in the UK as far as I know. Wildwoods is the only place I know of that has them. Give wholesale tropicals a ring. Usually have a decent selection of oddballs. Or go on tropicalfishfinder.com and look up the species. It will list the shops that stock them at the moment

I'm sure porton pet and aquatics centre near salisbury had some.

Either that, or it was Channa micropeltes.

The snakeheads are in Parkers in Iron Acton, Yate/Bristol way. They have a lot of nice stuff in at the moment, but a lot (most) of the snakeheads are reserved. So hurry up.

I'm sure it's not going to help, but my Rainbow Snakehead was the best fish I ever kept!
I used to work at Maidenhead Aquatics, Colomesus puffers came up on the lists fairly often, Rainbow Snakeheads occasionally. Maybe call them and ask if they can keep their eyes open for you?
