6 inch Jardini with my 4.5 inch channa? :D

[rumblesushi]

I talked too soon. Just like I thought the channa is f##king badass. A couple of days after putting the jardini in, and the channa being nervous and hiding, he suddenly came to life and started chasing the bigger jardini around and took a couple of chunks out of his tail. The jardini did not fight back.

My channa is a furious little fish. He has a grudge against anything that lives.

I put them in seperate tanks now. It will be fun as my little channa grows to see if anything is capable of living with it.

Any suggestions?

a pike cichlid?

surely not? I've never seen much evidence of them being tough killers. I've seen them in with much smaller fish showing no aggression. This channa was bullying a convict, a texas and a jardini at the same time.

I'm no expert on pike cichlids, but they don't look like they'd be able to stand up to a particularly vicious snakehead.

cobra pikes are very aggressive. My 4 incher is trying to get at my 12inch aros... seperated it for its own safety.
