i have a channa marulioides which is at about 4.5 inches.
He doesnt show off those dark strips.. just faded stripes.
but, when i clean the tank, when he would probably be more stressed, he shows off really dark stripes and really darkened scales on his head.
any ideas why?

And i would like to know what can i put in with him?
i currently have 2 oscars, 2 tinfoil barbs and an rtc x tsn.
Dont worry about the future tank.. its all settled.. my dad makes them.
erm.. a top/mid dweller would be real nice
i had a silver arowana which was at about 6.5 inches when the SN was only 4 inches.. my SN killed it.
ive tried switching the SN to another tank for a few days, changed decos but
the SN killed my arowana lol..
would a jardini be better?
 
You take your chances trying to mix channa with other species. I would stick with just the marulioides.
