Golden cobra snakehead questions

[Essaf Victor]

now I am really interested in snakeheads specially golden cobra but the problem is my tank temperature reaches 32 c in the summer but in the winter it gets cooler mybe 23 c, can a golden cobra snakehead live in these temperatures?

And another question if I buy can I get a pair or I should get one only ?

The temperatures are too high. They might handle 30 for a werk or so, but would end up with a fatal fungal infection. tropical species would do better , but 32 might be a bit much for a long period of time .

I don’t totally agree, we had a ridiculously hot summer this year in the UK and my snakehead tank was running at around 30 degrees for weeks... no issues at all. I might have got luck but they still eat like pigs and fight like cat and dog

I also had an absolute monster of one in a community tank... still my atabapo red pole cichlid when psychotic and cleared house.
