i have 2 nice channa bleheri.. !! this is a channa of my friend, but i like to buy1 or 2.

can i take 2 bleheri and 2 channa orientalis in the same tank ??

 

[south coast nelly]

I would advise against it, most channa keepers would advise keeping channa in species tanks as do i....ok not fully true i have a mid sized channa in a community tank , but as a whole its better solo or as a pair or group depending on the species

Hi,channas are better off in a species tank!

HI,

bleheri need coller temps as orientalis.
Of your channa has no pelvic fins, its orientalis.
