Information about this species would be very helpful and is 55 gallons enough for 3 of them. Will get them in few days.

Thank you

Hey,

Sorry I can't help you about this one, seems to be still undescribed.

here is all the infos I found in a quick google, hope that helps:

I would consider it a bleheri to know the needs of the fish, which would mean sub-tropical (india) and as for all channas, 1 or 2 are the only options, and to get 2, you start with 5-6 and pray. :)

Their temperament is much like channa gachua. They will probably be relatively aggressive to one another but if the aquarium is decorated properly so that they have enough space to escape one another, they should coexist adequately; especially in an 8 foot tank.

With 10 individuals though, you'll have to expect pairing and likely breeding. In which case there is a very high chance the pair will start killing off the others if they can. As with most channa, i would recommend a group of 5-6 and then letting them form a pair, ultimately keeping a pair in a tank dedicated to them alone.

The shopkeeper and an info on Tabby's article told me to buy sub- tropical channas in winter season I will do so :) and then they will gradually can take on Summers.
