yea i know the title is...but i m wondering if i can try to mix my king striata (which is grown alone from 10cm to 34cm) with a micropeltes 12cm.. Its a gamble or a blood bath for the small fella? I want to mention that when i throw some morio warms inside the tank my striata love to hunt them and rapidly kill them.. Can i mix instead of my striata the small micropeltes with my 35cm oscar for 3-4 months ?
 
Micropeltes are opportunistic hunters, given a chances, they will happily try to eat something their own size.
Out of all types of snakeheads, i would say micropeltes are the least likely to get on with other fish. He might be alright with the oscar for a short while, but the oscar would be food when hes big enough.
 
Neither will work. You don't mix micros with anything, even in a pool.
All species of Channa hate every other species of channa and most of the time their own species too.
