i don't think there is one answer to your question there are may species of snakeheads some small some large some socialble some aggresive. they tend to tolerate poor water conditions but this is not always the case when young there are sensitive to tap water so ovoid adding water thats not mature when older snakeheads are pretty tolerant and will eat anything, they will try an get out so keep a tight fitted lid

tank size depends on type of snakehead. dwarfs only need a ten to 20 gal other types need upwards off 180 or bigger
