snakeheads are happy with very infrequent water changes and some say they are happier without water changes!, personally i just suck up excess food and stuff from the bottom then just top it back up, no massive water changes by any means! maybe as little as 5% every other week.
you could keep the tropical Channa at room temp. if your room is a constant 24 Celsius at least, which most aren't, so you most probably will require a heater.
