The Rainbow snakehead, Channa bleheri, is a species of snakehead. Its type location is Dibrugarh, the most north-eastern area of Assam, India.
This species is one of the favourite snakeheads for aquarists because of the colors that give it its common name. This species grows to 8 inches (20 cm), placing it in the informal group of dwarf snakeheads. Among these small snakeheads it is the only nestbrooder; all others are mouthbrooders.
