I thought channa were killing machines?!

So youre saying these fish pictured are a docile species and that even the "aggressive" ones like micros and maurulia only mess with stuff they can eat? Cool! Didint know that. I thought they killed anything in sight!

I found these pictures going through links from my local fish club to other clubs and other websites. I dont know whos they are. They were just in with a bunch of pictures in a gallery kind of like ours.

The aggresiveness of any individual fish does vary, even of the same species. I have seen some Micropeltes act pretty aggresive to larger fish but nothing like a large Cichlid. Most Channa species I have experiance with can be pretty aggresive with others in the same species but when it comes to similar sized tankmates there isn't much to worry about. I never found any dwarf species to be aggresive.

Channa are not as aggressive as most people perceived. They're rather docile fish and tend to be territorial of their surroundings. For example, if you go poke it while it's hiding under a rock or a cave then expect to get bitten. I hope your severum does not go where the channa is resting because they do not like visitors. I think the media made snakehead looked like the devil fish and instill the image of a channa micro into the public eyes anytime somebody hear of the word "Snakehead".

BTW, nice looking pleuros.

Why do you ask? You should know the answer to that question already.

People just like to draw attention and ask. Just ignore them and move on. It's like people asking "Is prostitution illegal?" With the exception of a few states we all know the answer to that one too.

Nice fish, Love snake heads. I just lost mines over the weekend. I was old, since I had him for over 12 and half years. Wish I had another to replace him.
