Channa Striata real max size?

[aleelmanya]

Some striata google profiles say 90 cm (but I could see yet a photo of a large striata)
others profiles say 61cm, and other says 40cm max size in aquariums...
What is your true size?

 

[Madou]

I believe it's between 40 and 60.

Numerous Channa striata have been caught that exceeded 90 cm, some reportedly up to 150 cm.

What is your temperature range? can they tolerate cold waters?

It says temperature range is 23 -27°c, so it depends on your idea of cold water.
It gives a common length on 60 cm also.I assume they have done their research.

Striata is our native fish, and it's really very hot in summer, but they r adapted well, for size, their common size is around 60cm, in several years I hardly see any specimen up to 90cm, Channa marulius is native, that can exceed 90cm mark but not more than 120cm
