snakeheads fit that bill. being cheap, can form a pair, dont appreciate too much water changing, active under right conditions and dont need lots of food.

Whaaaaaaat? Channa gachua is a staple food fish here and in the monsoon (i.e., now) they literally flood the markets!
Channa is a rare beauty here. rarely imported, they might be more common in other parts of my country but not near where i live
I hopefully got over the overstocking phase some six years ago... I am a newbie in keeping a few of the often overlooked species in a single species(with my featherfin squeaker to invade personal space)tank, or a selection of fishes originating in waterways with similar parameters.
No offence taken man. Time and again I had failed in keeping incompatible species which were impulse buys, and your comment really takes me back to the days of housing a pair of common plecos... in a 2feeter... with a stunted Oscar. Hopefully, I have left those days behind me.
Funny, one man's exotic is another man's fish market staple.
Here in Maryland, they are an invasive species that threatens native fish. They are viewed extremely unfavorably by the general public. You'd think they were the spawn of Satan himself.
Since I've gotten back into the aquarium hobby, I've come to appreciate them as a beautiful and interesting fish. No chance of them ever being legal here again, so I'll have to admire them from afar.
I was researching for almost a year before i got my tank going to inform myself. fishkeeping can often be a baptism through fire
I have african tigerfish as natives so yeah...
