Any fish which doesn't look like a snakehead, and isn't small enough to becomelunch will be fine. I have kept dwarf snakeheads with all sorts of things from gouramis to upside down catfish to bala sharks and chalceus.

Any thing specific Esfa?
Mine lives happy with a bunch of things. There was a fair bit of trouble between him and the climbing perch, but things have settled down nicely now. |

so long as the potential tank mate is about half his body size its off the menu, then you have to be looking if the tank mates too aggressive or boisterous. In both cases it will cause the channa to hide, defeating the point of the snakehead tank

any small (around 15-25) cm predatory fish really something that great to watch feeding and visitors will enjoy watching
