Channa Sp Assam

[crayfishjamie]

Hi, will the channa assam and the channa bleheri live together ok?
Thanks

They will live together OK.
They are best kept in separate species but there won't be any problems with them together.

Both are sub-tropical. The Assams grow a little smaller than Bleheri, but they look very alike.
The most obvious way to tell them apart is Bleheri have orange spots on the caudal fin, whereas Assam don't, they have blue streaks.
