Your best bet would be 3 or 4 Channa Sp. Assam. There are a number of single specimins you could keep. Smaller Gachau Vars., Punctata, Orientalis, Panaw, Bankanisis.

Hi,I agree with jelly and would add bleheri.

Can't believe I left that out.

Defiantly want a hood on it, they have a tendency to jump out of the smallest of gaps.

thanks, so i can have a one Punctata , i though they will grow to big for my tank, i will try to get one of those,

i think 2 maybe even 3 bleheri would be more fun to have. just my opinion. more colorful. more active (from what i've heard) etc etc. and on top of having a top on the tank most snakeheads like some plants or something along the top for cover so they feel comfortable going to the surface for air

agreed with the guys, clearseal so make sure you purchase a lid to fit after and also id reccomend getting the drip tray aswell, these guys are escape artists....why you getting clearseal,have alook around for a secondhand tank and get everything including filter ect for same price.

reccomend getting plants galore and duckweed works a treat in these tanks, provides cover and reduces escape idea's in my oppinion and helps with filteration
