polypterus with channa?

[VITRUVIAN]

i have a 55g with a polypterus senegalus at 5-6'' and i found a pleuropthalma in a very good price in my local petshop at 6-7'' is it possible a combination of a bichir and a Pleuropthalma ?


p.s i have made the same post herehttp://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102800 for opinions of the both sides if something like that is against this site's rules i have no problem one of the posts to be removed

I have a senegalus 8" with my channa punctata about 7".. So far no problems.. Im not too sure if its a good idea to mix them..

Eventually when your snakehead gain in size it will eat your polys. I wouldn't recommend mixing it with polys unless you're willing to take a gamble with it.

channa Pleuro would be OK wth polyterus...

if u are planning to keep Channa Micropeltes (giant snakehead) wth polyterus, i would say GOODBYE to yr polyterus..... ;p

It should be ok with a senegal, as long as the channa dun outgrow the senegal. Or else it will be expensive fish food.
