Hi all! I have recently set up a 36"x15"x18" tank and want to keep Channa. I really wanna keep Channa stewartii but am also thinking of keeping gachua. Which one should I start keeping?
Go with andrao or bleheri, bleheri can be kept in groups, andrao too.
A group of 6 is the best way to goDo I have to buy multiple andrao for pairs to form? Or can I buy a male-female and hope for the best? also do they take kindly to tankmates?

Andrao are not very aggressive, but being channa anything that might fit is considered food
I lived in Southern India, which is not subtropical, but I have kept the bleheri and bred them as well, my tank temps have reached 28 in peak summer.If I keep andraos or bleheris, do I need to maintain a temp of around 24 degrees C? Would the tank size work for punctata? I might do gachuas or punctatas depending on availability but I am kinda scared about getting andrao or bleheris because of the fact that they are subtropical.
Although ompok and gachua live in similar settings, they will fight each other.Hi! I was waiting on a friend for some gachuas but he can't travel now. So I have got two Ompok pabos in my tank. Do you think I can add bleheris or gachuas in this tank?
