I keep a giant snakehead in my tank, right now i have a 90 gallon,but after much debate with more experianced people on this site about giant snakeheads im going to eventually move him to a bigger tank ill be keeping at my grandmothers house (I cant fit him in mine but being first born in an Italian family makes u the favorite any time:D). Anyways point being is right now hes around 11", and there is a 7" oscar and a 6" jaguar in the tank also (Jaguar wasnt my idea my brother thinks it looks cool and threw it in when i wasnt home). Now the jaguar has been nipping at the snakehead lately but the snakehead just takes it and flashes his colors a bit but never fights back. I know he has a capacity to kill still because the snakhead has no mercy on the feeder fish, but for some reason he has no problem takeing **** from a jag chiclid. Should i be worried about the snakehead? Is it possible that his more consistent diet has toned his agression down? I really dont care about the Jag being bitten in half by the snakehead, 1. its not my fish, 2. snakheads gota eat anyways, and 3. I warned my little brother this would happen, now hell learn to listen to me for once and not the guy at the petshop whos down to sell a 19 YO kid a $50 fish.
 
I think you need to start being a bit more responsible towards all fish in your possession.
Get that Micro out of there ASAP.
 
But honestly speaking tokyo, did u bother to read the initial post. I said im gona move the micro, i just need to find the tank to put him in. Montreal isnt the easiest place to find a 1000+ gal tank. Right now the main problem is dealing with the chiclid my brother baught. I get that u dont like me, even though i admitted i was wrong in the initial post of this topic and that u were right. So if ur gona be useless and bust balls go somewhere else

Why should I go somewhere else?
Its a public opinion forum, and I'm making my opinion.

Am I busting your balls, maybe.
Do I dislike you? No. I don't know you.

Yes your Micro is young, and he is very much in danger from the other fish, as they are of it.
IMO, a responsible attitude right now would be to SPEND SOME MONEY and get some kind of holding tank to seperate the fish before death happens and till you find this larger tank.
