Hey guys, may have impulse bought a snakehead :$ he/she was so pretty and was fetting picked on by other fish, now i know fron research they dont always stay pretty and they can get pretty big, it is currently in my 2ft quarentine tank, but my main question is, would you believe it
Can i keep my snakehead in with my pleco and false map turtles?
My tank is 4.5ft long, has lots of drift wood and live plants, 2 large gloating platforms, water lettuce on the surface, im not worried about my pleco bullying it as he keeps to himself and the turtles are just to stupid to even realise that another animal is nearby lol
But im more worried that the snakehead will overtake my pleco growth wise and/or start taking chunks out of my plec, he is almost 1ft in size and pretty peacful, comes to my hand blah blah blah and knowing how predatory snakeheads are im worried he'll latch onto either him or my turtles, obviously i didnt think this through at the pet shop, i will upload a photograph of the little beauty when i get home tomorrow to try and get help identifying it but any advice would be useful, unfortunately i dont have the room for a seperate tank for it atm :/+
