Thanks, DC.
The Snakehead section doesn't get a lot of traffic, so I post here once in a while.

Awsome fish! Im trying to get a group in England! The guy at shop said Pleuros over 8inch are really hard to ship and most die on the shipping? So said will only try and order with money upfront!! Iv got to have bigger pleuros as im going to put into tank with 4 cichla kelberi peacockbass at 10-12inch!
Have these bean bread in the fish tank before mate?

I'm not sure about shipping larger specimens. I've only seen them for sale at 2-4".
I'm not sure if they've been bread in aquarium. I remember one person that had eggs, but I'm not sure if they ever became free swimming.
Good luck.

Would pleuros be a good snakehead for a 5 x 2 x 2 tank?

That would work for a solo specimen. A group will eventually need a larger tank. They fill out my 6x2x2 and I'll have to upgrade eventually.

Great pic!

Thanks.
I'll try to update this thread soon.
