Yup, there got no any filtration in the channa marulioides tank.
We purposely not to put any filtration, no water changing for longtime, keep the water in low ph, use black water...

This is an experiment to see whether it will encourages the channa marulioides to develop the flowers or not.

Wouldn't that harm the fish's health? Imagine swimming in your own waste..

Yup , i know the water condition is very poor but this might be the only way to encourages them to develop the flowers...

Last time all of my channa marulioides lived in a good water condition and well feeded, but all of them developed very less flowers or even no flowers.
 
With the plants consuming much of the waste, and it being already established as a living environment, I'd speculate a rapid cycle. They surface breathe, right? So oxygenation is no issue. And most of the more primitive fish are not picky about their water. I don't think I'd do this to a fish just for patterning purposes. I'd rather have an ugly, happier fish, but he probably isn't suffering the way our aquarist imaginations allow.
 
Agree, the plants i put in the tank might consuming much of the waste.

I see the my fish live happily (no any sign of disease) and always come close to me...i think he is begging for food.

And no worry, this channa will be moved to a big tank with good water condition once he had developed most of the flowers.

To Vinlwj
Actually now I can find only middle size, not for juvenile.
Last month I get 5 malasian marulioides from LFS, size 14-18" but I cann't find juvenile or small size.
No LFS imported to sell in Thailand this year. I don't know why. Are you interesting?
No website for channa only in Thai web, but in Thailand we seperate marulioides into 2 spec;
1 Malaysain spec, imported juv 1-2 years ago, price is acceptable.
2 Thai spec, It's rare and price unreasonable (some LFS sell very expensive).
