[aquasuri]

Hi everyone,

i have a question; wich channa is suitable for a 80x40x40cm tank?
just 1 male. so i tink 1 of the smallest channa species. i prefer an easy to maintan channa.

i saw last week 1 male Channa aurantimaculata when i was picking my daughter up at her freinds place. it was het dads aquarium.
man wat a beauty. is was about 45cm in an 150x50x50 aquarium. i stayed for a cup of coffee and watched and talked about the tank and the fish with her dad.

and i was in love really. one the way home i dreamed i want one snakehead.

i have an tank of 100x40x40cm with killis setup.

and i have an empty tank of 80x40x40cm. mabey al small species..just 1?
any recommandations?


thanks gyus

Hi.
Do u want a subtropical or tropical species?
With a subtropical species need to go down with temp to around 16C.
For this size of tank:
-Channa bleheri
-andrao
-small gachua variants( like sp Inle lake)
-orientalis

it doesnt matter if it is tropical or subtropical.
is has to fit in the tank.

thanks mate for the info.

Don't think there's much tropicals fitting these dimensions.
But basically, those 4 sound about right.
