Channa pleuros in a community tank?

[cpm6t]

I'm re-arranging my tanks and I was wondering how feasible would it be to have the pleuros with other fish. I mean mainly peacock bass.
I have a 220g tank I'm setting up for my pBass (4" -5" size). My group of pleuros are about the same size and are in a separate tank by now. Would that be feasible since they are still small? I've seen several people post here with their peuros in a community, but has any body had bad experience trying to do something like this with pleuros?
Please share.

I think that it may work. Small C. Pleuros may try to eat the Bass if they get hungry, or if the Bass don't keep up in growth. Once one attacks, the other C. Pleuros will follow. Once all of the fish are over 8" they'll probably live fine together. 220g will be to small to house the Bass and Channa together for life.
Good luck.

Sounds workable... and already someone is doing quite similar to what you are suggesting. Take a look at the video below...
