Algae eater in Channa tank.

[Mayank0491]

Hard to answer. I find that as with most fish they all have different temperaments.
I had three Parachanna obscura, they paired up and killed the third. However, now they Are 10” and live in a 390 jewel corner tank With a musk turtle, 3 leopard bush fish at 5”, 5 large bumblebee cats, a synodontis and a pair of bristlenose plecs.
Might be tempting fate here but all been together for almost 18 months. Whilst the Channa have coloured up and appeared interested in breeding, I have little in the way of floating plants and nothing so far.

Can’t find the pleco anywhere today. It was doing great till last night but I haven’t seen it in the tank since the time I have been up. I’m pretty sure the channa and not consumed it because it’s stomach did not look bloated and it in fact was super hungry and ate well like always. Have picked up the drifwood and checked, looked around everywhere but can’t find the pleco. Sigh.
