hey guys, i have a 10cm Ghost KnifeFish and a 8/9cm snakehead (in my place we call it "Channa" fish?). i was wondering if they can coexist in a tank? im planning on moving them on a 50cmx40cmx30cm tank. every suggestions and opinions will really be much appreciated, thankyou
Welcome aboard
Not sure because it depends on the Channa species most are too aggressive for tankmates.

Can't say unless we know the species of the Channa.
If it's dwarf we can hope they co exist, but a large growing Channa will eat a black ghost knife

The bgks movement alone might attract unwanted attention from the channa ,even a dwarf species.A bgk's tail has a worm like appearance. Just my opinion.
thankyou!Welcome aboard

ohh i see, well im pretty sure this one is the one that's gonna turn yellow when it became an adultahh in that case i think it probably isnt a good idea huh? ???
thankyou so much woah i just realised you're right, that the bgks movement definitely will trigger the channa??
ohmy what am i thinking haha thankyou so much!
Yellow channa maruliodes is my guess thenthankyou!
Channa can be very hard to read, misunderstood and tempramental.
You could find that in a tank with reasonable decor and fish of similar size the Channa leaves well alone.
I have a par of parachanna Obscura in a larger “community” setup but with nothing smaller than 2/3 the size of the Channa . But there are fish smaller than channa in there such as synodontis, bristlenose plecs, male bumblebee catfish and climbing perch but the channa have always behaved, even when in breeding color.
Your answer in my opinion could be no but it could be yes. Depends on the temperament of the fish themselves.
Note however that that tank will not be big enough for very long at all for either fish and there is a risk the Channa will grow much faster than the bgk.
