Channa pulchra tank mates?

[Shane87]

Picked up a channa pulchra yesterday and researched how to care for them but I couldn't find much information, I would like a pleco especially a blue phantom and I know my set up is ok for 1 but will the snake head be to aggressive?

 

[Shane87]

Anyone?

What size is you're tank?

 

[Shane87]

In a 100l rite now but he is going into a 350l very soon, I am treating some oscars in there but as soon as they are back to Heath it's his

Jw, is this a snake head?

 

[Shane87]

Yea, I was told its a fairly new species and its sub tropical so slightly lower temps than some tropical fish like.

You should be able to put it with a pleco. The fish is called a snakehead fighter, and is in the Betta channoides Family!
Here is some great info on mixing them! Quick tropical aquarium fish statistics and photos for the Snakehead fighter, Betta channoides

You have a Burmese Peacock Snakehead

Yea that's it, do you know if they can mix with anything else?

Huge fish man They grow over a yard long in big tanks. They will eat anything that fit's in they're mouth. They are aggressive and mean fish. More then most fish(Oscar-Cichlids-Sharks). Should be mixed with bigger fish then him, or they are a no go.
They are very warm water fish. 80+
Don't keep any fish with it unless they are aggressive and big.
