220L Tall Planted predator stocking advice? Channa?

[Samuel Uk]

Hey all I'm moving my 220 litre tall aquarium (100x40x70cm) and would like some stocking help.

I love Channa and would love to keep one in there but not sure if I have the room. Solitary piranhas are an option but expensive so I'm steering clear.

Plant safe suggestions only please. I'm aiming for 1 (or maybe a couple of slightly smaller) fish that wont completely max out the aquariums stocking levels since I like to keep plenty of swimming room.

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Muel

How many you reckon? Will they be ok with the plants? I know some characins nibble. They get aroud 6" don't they?

Rainbow snakehead. Channa bleheri or Channa sp. Assam Blue http://www.tropicalfishfinder.co.uk/stores_products.asp?store=54&type=Fish&cat=61
It is even delivered. Wildwoods had great service when I used them.

Channa sp Assam Blue is stunning!

Hi,I agree channa bleheri would be a great choice!

I'd be wanting something for the top water layers then though. Maybe an Angelfish ( I like the black morphs) and possibly even a butterfly fish or something for the very top?

I'd go with the shoal of exodons, but a nice channa or piranha would b nice too

I'm swinging towards Channa beheri for the fact that I can get attached to it compared to a shoal of Exodons.

Maybe 1 Channa bleheri, 1 Angelfish and maybe a Spotted climbing perch or something.
