they grow quite large , up to 2' in aquarium , what size they are now ,
8*2*2 is the minimum aquarium u need , they tolerate eachother if kept ,together from small age

They'll tolerate each other until maturity the will turn on each other and either leave you a pair or a solo fish like just about any other channa

That's a common misconception. Most channas will look like they work together until they don't.
DC actually is attempting that on the channa everyone likes to think as a community channa, but I don't think he has much hope for his pleuros the older they get.

channa striata rarely become canibal. they'll be fine as long as you feed them enough. aggression might happen but they are very hardy fish.
