bowfin vs snakehead

[focker]

i have a 7 inch bowfin and my friend has a 7 inch snakehead that hes going to sell me.. will they coexist ?? if not which one will be eaten...

 

[guppy]

What type of snakehead?
Also these fish occupy the same niche ecologically and in the tank, both arew strongly predaceous and have powerful jaws, althoug the bowfin is not as aggressive as some channas either fish could decide to sample the other and the one that gets the first chomp in will probably kill the other.

film it............its gonna get nasty

 

[ewurm]

Two great fish, I hope they get along.

If he has a redline my bet the bowfin goes. A gachua, give the bowfin a couple months and hell out grow the gachua and good bye gachua!

Wouldn't try. get a divider!

 

[JD7.62]

Actually the divider wont work so unfortunatly you are just going to have to send the channa to me! hehe

 

[fishnthings]

both are great fish..... get another tank

 

[yoyoyo]

If it is a red snakehead the snakehead has won hands down!

If it's a Red it won't be contested in the long run....Sure the Red may sit back for a couple weeks being subtle, but the Red will kill it eventually.....
