Will you be able to keep other fish witha snakehead because my other 2 died im not sure what to i looked at them the water changed i have everything in to protect them. so im not sure but im thinking of putting and african knife fish in with them not sure? IF YOU CAN can you recommend some fish that you will be able to put some fish at the bottom that i can keep with them.
 
reece ,what channa are we talking here again? , as you know iam not really a fan of mixing with other fish , however i would make an exception for some of the big guys , if you want something for the bottom and if we are talking large tropical i.e maurlia micro ect , then look towards larger birchers endis ect , some of the larger plecs , say away from redtails ect , but again depends what channa we are talking about

TBH PISSED OF BIG TIME LOL I LOST SOME BEAUTIFUL FISH
 
dam shame reece , but dont let it put you off , where they the maularoids ? , i would personally take a water sample to lfs and ask for a full master test to be done ,see if they can pick anything up in water, if you looking to put new ones in with something , maybe give obscura a try , they would go better with birchers ect

hope you get sorted out
 
sorry to hear about your loss reece. i'd take Tropheus' advice and get a water testing done before putting any other channa in that tank. they were in there alone right? i thought marulioides, like most snakeheads, were pretty hardy.
