bullseye snakehead / channa marulius anyone know much about them??

[redtailbeasts]

can anybody help me,ive been offerd two of these in repalcement for channa marulioides / emperor snakehead ,i wanted the marulioides originally because they only grow to 26 inch
and there fairly social for snakeheads,but i know nothing about the marulius apart from they look similar to the marulioides and there isnt much info on them,
one web site said they grow 4 ft and another said that they rarely grow larger than 33inch even smaller in aquariums,and allso that you cant put nothing else in with it??
any info woul;d be great,
thanks people.

they grow big.. like really big.. they show no signs of even slowing down at 24"..

they are just as social as marulioides but also more likely to kill tankmates, not as much because of their slightly worse temper but mostly because of their teeth.. were the marulioides seems to be specialized on things with shells the marulia seems to be more of a fish-hunter.. these are just my personal observations and I'm sure some german would be happy to correct me but that doesn't change the care sheat..

if I were you I'd rather wait for a marulioides out of sheer conveniance..
