Channa Marulioides tank size?

[Kelly_Aquatics]

Hello! So my parents are set on moving to New Brunswick in the next years or so and snakeheads are legal there every species even northerns (although I will not be keeping northerns) I talked with a couple people in this thread and we narrowed it down to either channa pleurophthalma or channa marulioides (Emperor snakehead) I got some good answers in this thread but I just want to ask some more questions because that thread seems to have sizzled out and the plan has changed https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/snakehead-for-a-125g.739965/

I now most likley will have a 180 instead of a 125g and a 75g I really want a solo channa marulioides do you think that could work in a 6x2x2 tank?
Krismo962 showed me this

Yes you could house a solo channa marulioides in the 6x2x2 , they are about as big a species as you could get in that sized tank.

Anyways let me know what you think

Maruloides grow huge 28" and upwards, I have actually bought a 2750gram specimen from the wet market to keep one in my pond, a few years ago

No it won’t work. Channa marulioides grow gigantic. There’s one aquarium shop near my Tution centre which specialises in snakeheads, and there’s one that’s 3ft long.

Nope, the channa got killed the same day by the RTCs

Caveden I find that hard to believe im not saying its not true but one that size has never been described they max out at 20-24"
