oh and does he have a cave to hide in ? and floating plant cover ? these 2 things are very important, for making the fish feel safe . Lastly by the fact he's alive i'm assuming he's not in with the asiatica, but if he is seperate them ,they are a MUCH more agressive species, and will probably not let him eat and eventually turn him into a feeder, And one final question you said water parameters are spot on, but didnt know what species he was, so maybe you have a mistake there, what are the water temperatures, this is the most important and often incorrect thing , both asiatica and auranti are sub tropical, temps should be 20-26 degrees, to warm and they dont do to well...
Danny!!!
You don't learn mate or what?
You are mixing Channa with other fish again, and tropical ones at that!!!
Will you ever listen to advice here!!!!!

na mate, not keeping him at trop. temps. he is at 20/ 24 , around 22 most of the time.
To tokyo, there is a small severum in with him for moment and there is no prob.
severum had to be moved or he would have been killed in my cichlid tank, you know the sort of thing you had to do when you mixed snakeheads against your own advice, sometimes needs must, its not that a person doesnt listen, its just necessety and is only temp.
You would do well to get the facts before you start slating people pal.
When i say the water is spot on i mean spot on for what i had, whitch was supposed to be auranti 0% amonia ect as we all know if water is not quite right it can stop them eating.
Iknow s.h. like dirty water but not thick with amonia.
But i wonder if that little severum could be putting him off, any way i will change his diet and see how it goes.
Thanks for the replys

It is prawn i am feeding, have given sev. to neighbour, he now has tank to himself again.
I look forward to him taking food the way yours do.
I saw on your thread how your asiatica was so much a better feeder, mine is the same.
My auranti. is just baby but on thespecies guide it says they are agressive like the asiatica, so could you tell me is asiatica a lot more mean ?
hi
try and get the temp down a bit,auranti are much more active when the water is cool,and loads of floating cover should make him chill out a bit,and when he is relaxed he should start eating,ive got a five ft tank with 8 young aurantis in and they are big eaters mate,as soon as i go near the tank they are at the surface begging for food,they are also about four inches now aswell.
plus how long has he been in the tank,might not be used to his surounding yet,if he goes much longer with out eating,buy some earth worms,they should get him intrested,they have never failed for me.

hi
as for the asiatica they are evil buggers,even if you end up with a pair they will still fight,brucki has some intresting pics of the damage an asiatica can do to its mate,not nice.
but i find the auranti to be just as evil,fight like cat and dog,with the smaller ones i have they are not fighting yet,but they are all from the same brood so might take a while for the fighting to start.but as long as there is enough hiding places in the tank and they can all find a spot of there own,and enough plants and wood to break the line of sight they should be ok,till a pair forms and then its better to seperate the rest of the group.
