I imagine a full grown 8"er would give a nasty nip, never mind the larger one's.

Very nice Bihari SH u got ethere bros,i have just gotten 1 pair too but they seem to like to fight abit when they tend to meet eachother in my planted tank,is it normal or just they are still new and perhaps stress as i just got them 2 days ago,Kinda sad to see some fin torn in them

Thanks and yes they do fight the male is larger than the female now, not so much in length but grith. He done her some fin damage at first but they seem to have settled now although he does chase her.
Try raising the temp to 25oC for a wk or so as this seems to make them lazy and then back to 22-23oC. I neva done it on pupose its just bin warm here but they seem to have calmed down. I feed them Bloodworm, Prawns, Muscles and (occasionally) Rainbow Trout. They are growing fast an there colours are Great.
Post some pics of yours plz

Hey jayclarke,

Nice pair of Bleheri you go there. I’m just a little surprise with the price,30quid for a pair? From where I live in, I got it for 4quid. I mixed them with my other channa Panaw, they seem to have a good chemistry.
