Very nice! I've had a few myself but always ended up giving them away since they don't do very well with more laid back fish.. they punked my aros, dats, etc.. nothing serious but enough to ruin the harmony of the tank!

Nice to see someone dedicate an entire tank to a very beautiful and underrated snakehead!
 
Oh how I love channa's ! Beauties !

Thanks, Tanya.

I dropped by just to say again they are real beauties!!

Haha, thank you.

I used to keep a single specimen with dats, polys and a clarias catfish. They worked well for me, but I found that one does not have the same ferocity without the pack.
Thanks for the compliment and they are definitely underrated.
 
They´re absolutely beautiful, Bottles. Congrats!

I hesitated sometime between getting pleuros or aurantis. Ended up with the aurantis (availabiliity made the choice easy..) but the pleuros are still in the back of my mind...

Thanks, Joao. Unfortunately, Aurantis are very difficult to get over here or I would already have some of those as well haha. Both are very beautiful species.
 
They sure are!.
Here the auratis aren´t easy to get either.
If you want to check mine, they´re in the SH forum.
