oh i see lol, you could make a holding pen for him for cleaning or a temp divider-move him one side clean the other...simples, work around that? then you could aquascape it, i still think bare bottom is cool, few manmade hiding spots.??
hahhaa, what are your reasons for wanting it, if it didnt have this rep would you still want it???? if you want it, listen to the warnings but get it...will be cool!!!
Hi,
please please do not follow the above given very BAD advive.
A bare bottomed tank with no hiding places is really not a good place for ANY fish !!!
Channa NEED hiding places to feel secure, the more the better. In a tank with lots of hiding places the fish knows that every time he wants he can hide, but normally ot only takes a few seconds in a secure place when it gets disturbed and swims out to check whats up outside the tank.
I have tanks were really more plants and wood is inside than water, and in these tanks I can the se channa CONSTANTLY !!
In tanks with only few hiding places, the fish stay more shy and tyke cover more often.
Here are a few examples for how a channa tank should look like.
home of Channa lucia:
Home of Channa stewartii (on the pic but now housed by C. sp. Assam)
Channa pulchra (have fry atm)
Another tank (C. sp. "glaser-harcourtbutleri")
and so on...
Cheers

Some people keep goldfish....I wanna giant snakehead (Channa Micropeltes).
They catch this fish everywhere around here (Malaysia)...mostly for eating. I just wanna get one for a pet. There was one was for sale two days ago - 3kg fish for RM50 (approx USD15)...for the dining table not the aquarium.
