My 4 Channa Bleheri

[HavanaMan]

Hi Luca,

I suggest to use some floating plants to give more cover, and make the tank a bit darker. The channa will love it.
And you could add some mor caves or roots, that one floating in the middle ofg the tank is very good for aquaria, I use these type very often, and it looks great.

In half a year I'm going to work in Faido/Bodi for a few months .

Cheers

Hello Brucki,

I ask two things:

at what temperature you keep your bleheri? I thought 22 and 18 in summer and winter .. what do you think?

Second thing: the fish have the white marks, you enclose the photo, do you think is a disease or something related to territorial fights?

hanks in advance
Luca

In WInter my tanks fro subtropical Channa have 15°C

HI Luca,

the tanks are unheated, and I dont heat the room very much (room temp 13 to 15°C) in winter. When the weather gets warmer, the tanks become warmer. But my appartment is in the basement/cellar, so its pretty easy to keep the room and tanks cool. The tank that gets up to 25 °C ist the one one the right side, that onbe at top of the rack.

Cheers

Hi,

the bleheri are in a 80*35*40 tank, there are three of this size in the sleeping room (not visible) but they are in a rack like that one on the right side. The three tanks on the pic are 80*40*40 (all measures in cm), the big in the front is 1,60*50*50. Its just nwe setup with playsand, thas why the water is so blurry. Through the door you can see the sleeping room, with two 85*85*60 tanks, and two 85*50*50 tanks.

Cheers

Too bad they're such mean fish. They're so pretty.

i've found bleheris to be very docile actually, very rarely do i see the any flaring or bickering amongst them and even when they do, it ends pretty quickly.
