ALL ABOUT THE GIANT AND INDIA GIANT SNAKEHEAD

[arawana1030]

I have read back the whole post (17 pages), and no where on the post I found the answer to my question.
I'm asking the same question as jlnguyen74 : what's the real minimum tank size for housing 3 micropeltes ?
350 gallons is ok ?

Because I see lot of people housing micropeltes in 100 gallons, what are your experience with that type of tank?
Do the fish outgrow the tank ? Or is it suitable for 5 years ?

I never seen micro juvie sold here as feeder. But long time ago I got striata juvie as feeder. But now lee koh is the main feeder fish here. Have you bought feeder in JB?

 

[fishyman]

No, I have not bought any feeders in JB. Not worth going all the way to JB just to get feeders.

This is my present selected giant Snakehead for your ref (with tankmate : 1Kg Redtail giant gourami and 20cm paroon shark)

This a truly an awesome and informative thread.

I have learned a lot from this thread as I am still a very new owner of this beauty. Keep it coming guys.

I have started another thread hoping for you guys to guide me through in having a Giant Snakehead.

This is my juvie monster:

If you guys noticed, my Snakehead's tail is closed when I tried snapping a picture of it. Unlike many of you guys who posted pics of your Snakehead where its tail is opened. Closed and opened may not be the right word but I hope you guys know what I'm talking about. Lol...

Why is that so? This happens only when I get close to the tank. Is it afraid or nervous or something?
