Snakeheads Channa Bleheri

[Craig89]

Afternoon all just hoping somebody could give me some info on these fish. I stumbled on them on eBay and was hoping to get a pair if compatible with my new stocking ideas and my tank size. Currently have a 270l tank and once I've moved my rams into there new tank I want to get

2x cobalt blue dwarf gourami
4x angel fish
2x snakeheads
4x kuhil loach
6x devil lava snail

not compatible I'm afraid, firstly they require cool water and therefore no heater is required,
Also they are predatory so the likes of dwarf gouramis and kuhli loach are likely to make for a hearty meal

Ive kept lots of channas including assams which were similar to these. Whilst I dont think that the khuli or gourami would be food I personally wouldnt keep channa with anything else other than their own kind. They make great species tanks are a good breeding project and easy to keep due to fact that they are very hardy and feed so easily

Yea I think I may just wait untill I have enough room to do a species only tank thanks guys
