Channas are just uber-predators

[Cyclop3000]

i have place order of 10 channa micropeltes in a big lfs. 50euros .they came DOA so they order some more. they gonne be killing among than and only stays one in the endor they get alone and i gone be in or forget about the 10 and just get 1 or 2 .about channa/wolf it was me o ask because saw one and like to have togeder the 2 but is no macth

Let's see if I understood right..

I would not put a wolf fish and a snakehead together, one will die eventually. I don't know about micropeltes, but I can definitely say that the Channa Pleurophthalma can be kept in groups without over-agression. SH often hunt in groups, as long as they are well fed i guess micropeltes can also group...

All snakeheads shoal as Juvaniles however when they get larger they do not.
Pleurophthalma is one of the very few exceptions to this rule. The best you can get away with is a pair. Unless you have a lake.

I wondered if the smaller snakeheads (4inches)are as hardy as the larger ones (8-12inches) as far as being transported goes?

all channa are very hardy when being transported and if packed correctly can easy survive a 3 to 4 day journey

You Britons are so lucky to have channas available for you. Learn from our mistakes and DO NOT DUMP into your rivers and lakes. If only we can have another chance.....

They'll be banned in some European countries this summer
for an example as England & Sweden.
