Redline Snakehead issues

Hi.

I don't mean to set off land mines and all, but I'd like to know how many of you have encountered issues regarding Micropeltes going berserk on tankmates.

It's happened, I know, but I'd like some details as I want to learn more about these fish.

rarley happens until after the 12-18" mark ,that is when they become more aggresive in a tank , anything over 2ft you would be very lucky to be able to house with anything else ,unless of course you have a huge aquarium (far bigger than really big home aquarium) the more space you give them the more chilled out they seem to be

cheers col

I agree after the 12in mark they get the mean streak......the more space the better.....

Didnt see my micro going berserk on any fish yet , and hes like 14-15 inch , the catfish is doing well , he doesnt even bother it. but i guess it really depends on the induvidual .

Dude, after hearing the issues of Channa Micropeltes and Protopterus Annectens/Aethiopicus, I could safely say that they have literally outweighed the Jar in terms of aggression.

HECK, I almost forgot the Jardini issues when I read up the crap the 3 species I mentioned could pull.
