Yes ia ge with channa, they do best on a diet of pelleted foods and a bit of prawn etc.. Provide a cave for it to hideaway in and you should be fine.
should be around 0.5 - 1 inch per mth until around 12 inches.
then very slow.
but thats just me guessing.

I had one about 20 years ago, I fed it small crawdads and minnows. It was about 10" when I got it and I don't know how old it was . After a year I was tierd of getting shocked and traded it off. It only grew about 1/2" in that year if I remember right.
they are like catfish x3. Catfish will eat themselves to death, until the stomach splits open. These guys go an extra mile to make it happen. do not overfeed him. they are also more active than you think and need a huge tan, as they can push 3 feet. (Unless you get the African Dwarf species but as far as I know they're identical.)
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
Is this literally electric catfish? I mean with voltage and amps? or is this just a name because it is shiny? Sorry for the ignorance, but i am here to learn ^^
