my FH was nearly an inch when i got him
i don't mind keeping them but its just that after reading a few posts about SHs here, where every one says keep SHs by themselves and not others i just didn't want to test my luck with my FH as i have been keeping for quite a while and am attached to it,i am quite sure he is disease free lives in a 95g, water changes every 4 days water filteration at 1600 ltrs/hour, gets a real varied diet no feeders ever fed to him other than the ghost shrimp from my own ghost shrimp colony or the odd fish i tried to keep him with)
other than that i was a little apprehensive of the snake heads when they weren't eating
anyways gonna try chicken heart today
i hope they eat
i was just thinking about eating them if i wasn't able to house them right
they are really tasty(believe me on this one)
and i am not going to release any fish once kept in a tank to wild as there might be a chance that a disease i haven't noticed might be there and i may accidentally add it into the wild
most of their time they spend in the caves and the only time they come out is when they have the need to surface for O2 and they are quite graceful not at all skittish even after their ordeal of getting caught and having been out of water for nearly 4.5 hrs(my uncle put 'em in a wet gunny bag and brought 'em to his place(was shocked to see them alive)
EDIT: hmmm i am from mysore(city) in karnataka(state) in india (to be more in context from the cauvery river basin), the rivers here run with awesome cats, snake heads, spiny eels and lots many more awesome predators
