Giant Snakeheads and peacock bass

[DanielKeepFishes]

I know how giant snakeheads are aggressive, but these few days My orino peacock bass have been poking at my 3 giant snakeheads and rubbing their body against them, almost like claiming their territory. They have been together for about 3 weeks now. Snakeheads showing no signs of aggression. Peacock bass yes. Tank parameters are ideal. Can any peacockbass/ snakehead owners explain thisbehaviour? Any tips on how to make my snakeheads more aggressive so they can actually defend themselves?

Tbh that is a bad combination the tables may turn on the PBass. Also Redline Snakehead grow fast so PBass may become expensive food for the Snakehead.

This video will show why you should be worried I suggest separating them.

Tank looks very small for those fish. I agree with Mr Lindesy. Expect trouble.

I have nothing to say more then this is stupidity at its finest. Once the snakeheads have had enough they will reek havoc and kill your orinos in an instant.
