I know this is a dwarf snakehead but how Fast do these grow and how big do they get? i have mine in a 400 litre tank feeding bloodworm cubes once a day :)
 
it only took me a few months (maybe 4 or 5?) to grow my bleheris from about 3" to 4.5/5" but i fed them really high protein content food. if you want them to grow quickly you need to get them off bloodworms and onto pellets or frozen food such as market prawns
 
thanks for the info :) mines only 3 inches at the minute, ive also got some beefheart and other meaty frozen food, im hoping he starts growing quick as he looks really small in a 400 litre tank lol :) might have to get another 1 as a mate for him
 
when i had my bleheris i had around 8 in a 60 gallon tank which is around 250litres. Devoting a tank to a sepcies only really gets the best out of your fish, not to mention having a group of them will allow them to pair off and you have a good chance at getting a breeding pair
