Channa micropeltes (snakehead)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
found out after he were into the glas that he is 8 inch, not 6,5 :)
now i have ordered some gravel, i went with this type (picture) thats nice for big fishes so they dont move it around that easy..

Here is 2 pictures from 5min ago.. i have some litle 1 inch fish with him but he dont eat them? he havent eaten since i got him and 2 days before that. i have seen litle fish on top on him head when he resting on buttom and he let them live:p
maybe he djust need some rest and setle down before he start to eat?

i found some other river stones i bought instead at where i live in a gardenshop so i dident have to wait for the store that i ordered the others from to get it, these are alitelbit bigger but work fine so they dont get moved around when fish swim..
he havent eaten anything, 5 days since i got him now, hope he start eat soon..

looks good.

i would stop changing up the tank arrangements and turn off the lights for awhile, until he entirely settles in and starts eating. keeps us updated.

thanks for sharing. :)
 
ok he is eating now, he started eating the litle fishes in the tank 3 days ago, he did it at night, about 2 fishes a night becouse it were missing when i wake up.
yesterday i trowed in some chicken, he dident do anything but when i came back 1 hour later he had eaten it, today i trowed in some frozen fish, waited some minutes then he starts eating it :)
also added some rocks to the gravel so he can scratsh himself on becouse he likes to do that..
and i got new filtration today, the one i had were inside, now i got outside filtration.

Everybody place your bets, place your bets!

How long will the angelfish last?

Not long! I would move them for their benifit. When he's fully settled down, I would plant the tank again.
