giant snakehead newbie...help!!

:screwy:
sharks are salt water.
yes,they can be kept with tankmates too big to eat.
but if theyre hungry theyll tear apart fish too big to eat.

just wondering....if i can keep ne tankmates with my shnakeheads...im getting a bigger tank and wondering if i can put in sharks with the snakeheads....both are the same size..
the shop i brought the snakeheads frm,they were in the tank with koi!!!! some koi were smaller than them and some were bigger..!

what kind of shark, tiger shark or great white shark? just kidding.. :ROFL:
red tail shark were to small to put togethr with koi. :)
 
just thought i should post a few more pics...
as i said a few days back that the bigger guy wont let the smaller guy eat the feeders...so i put in a few extra fish,all at the same time so that the smaller one gets few....now they dont hangout in the same place as they used to....the bigger guy is usually up towards the surface and the smaller one is at the bottom at the extreme opposite end....
and the smaller one has developed something on his upper skin,looks like an infection or something....anyone has ne idea what it is?

looks like a disease that usually happens in red SHs.
i forgot what its called.
but you better get some meds.
its fatal to most.
 
i was just observing them frm the past hour and seems like it is not a disease....the bigger on is beating the hell outta the smaller one every now and then.....i just fed them and after feeding he attacted the other one again and looks like it is bleeding!!! {pic 1}
it also has a scratch on his side of the eye
the bigger one is healthy and a bully...
what should i do?
