Channa Gachua Breeding

[deenblitzed]

No , they won't unless you leave the fry in the tank until they mature and start to fight each other, at that point the parents will start to drive out the larger ones to protect the smaller ones.

Thank you Devin.

That's what I thought, channas are very protective of their fries. I asked this question because I noticed that the number of the fries looks like its decreasing but not too obvious

There is some canablism between fry , but as they get older they also get better at hiding you'll be amazed at how many you don't see !!.

Two weeks ago there was a shipment of Gachuas that arrived in Malaysia from India. The dealer said they were Channa Gachua Purple (is there such a thing?). Intrigued I decided to get 5 of them since they were on the small side.

After 2 days in the tank I noticed that 2 of them were acting kind of aggressive towards the rest so I decided to monitor them closely before I take further action (i.e. removing the other 3 to a different tank.

While I was monitoring them I was in for a treat....
