1. How big do dwarf snakehead get max side ?
2. Do 2 6" will fit in my 75gallon? if so for how long?
3. I heard you can not fill up the water all the way...leave about 1-2" because SH go up and get air oxygen even there is filter in there? correct?
4. what is the best diet for them?
5. what is the right ph? and water parameter?
6. do you know a good site about SH that I can read and get information.

Agreed!

They will drown if not given access to air from the surface. Ask any questions on this site. there are loads of us here who can help. if you want a good read www.snakeheads.org is a really good site. Enjoy your snakeheads.

snakeheads are 1 of the most hardy fishes of freshwater... a neutral ph level in the water would be suffice as 4 the food part timmy has already mentioned... 10% every week is fine... though 20% is wad i normally do... yea and get some pics up soon man... cheers mate...
