Theres no pic right now, as i am away from home. I will try to asap tho, maybe on midday tomorrow (gmt+8 iirc lol). But the fin looks like it is closed(?)and they wont open them. They also look tired and thin (havent eaten for a week)
By behaving srangely, i mean that they sometimes swim around the tank quickly ever so often. They also sometimes float and remains motionless, even after i touch them. What has gone wrong?
I cant take any good pic(just my phone's camera), bit here it is:
As you can(probably) see, its fin is "closed" (idk the proper word lol) and its floating on the surface.
My camera always try to focus to my betta tank next to their tank. It drove me crazy lol

Sorry, i will try again tomorrow as i am away again from home.Do you have a full tank shot? Looks very bright.
hard to tell from that pic.
But basically, their fin looks like a silver arowana fins. I mean, snakehead fins(and tails) looks like a fan but now they looks like a blade
Im trying to feed 1 with live food to see if theyre any difference. If this goes on, i might have to stop trying to teach them eat pellets. I cant stand looking at them in that state
Channas are insectivore by nature, feeding them off of insects and worms is the best you can do, there's no reason to enforce pellets if you can do insects.
As for their fins being retracted, that is usually an indicator of two things:
- Stress (Tankmates, not enough hiding places, too bright, etc)
- Temperature being way off (too warm usually)
I believe they're from india, and are therefore sub-tropical, but their size makes me think otherwise. So I am not exactly sure on what the temps should be.

Thats the word! Idk what the word is, now i know its retracted lol
I dont think the temp is the case tho, but maybe it is stressed because of my tank. The tank is so small, it can only hold 3 bottle of mineral water.
I guess it all depends on whether they're tropical or sub-trop.
Devon will most definitely know better than I would.
