Parachanna Obscura Help

[Restricted-]

I read the sticky's and searched, but I still have a couple questions.

I have a 75gallon 48x18x20, is that big enough for ONE to live happily? And if so, would I be able to put more than just on in the tank? If I did, and they need a bigger tank, any idea on the growth rate after 8" because from what I read they grow fast to 8" then slow down alot. But slow down to like 1" per year or what?

Thanks, any info is greatly appreciated!

Anybody have anything that would help me?

I have a Parachanna obscura, wild caught specimen, in a 4x2x2 and he was 5 inch at purchase about 4 months ago, now 6.5inch. That size tank should be fine for him by himself

Thanks, that tank is a little bigger than mine but should still be okay. I thought they grew faster than 1.5" in 4 months, I thought they grew like 1" a month until around 8" ?

bump, would hujeta be a good tankmate? or do they grow too slow and the snakehead would outgrow them fast and eat them?
