Hi All
I’ve ventured over to my first snake heads. Always kept African haps and peacocks and really wanted a change.
I have managed to get a pair albeit not sure if it’s male and female Channa Bleheri. They are pretty small at around 3.5 inches each and I have them on there own in a tank which is H48, W80, D37cm. It’s just over 100 litres.
a few questions:
1. what is the best temperature to keep these fish at? I am aware they are sub tropical but is it a year round temp or should I do a winter and summer. If so what’s the ideal temp for them.
2. is my tank ok from a size perspective? They are both small at the moment and on their own, I intend to keep it that way. Can they be ok in there for the foreseeable?
3. how often should I feed them and what’s best?
4. I have an internal power filter that does 5 times the water at the moment….I’d this ok? Or too much? As I have heard they prefer slow current.
Thanks
