The dwarf snakehead, Channa kelaartii (Günther, 1861) is a freshwater fish, widely distributed in streams and ponds of Sri Lanka and south India. This paper describes a record of intraspecific aggression behavior exhibited by C. kelaartii as a display of parental care in a natural ecosystem, along with a few other observations on parental care and protective instincts. Fishes were identified in the field, based on their morphological characters.
