We all know the reputation of snakeheads; how their so aggresive, and can't be housed with anything else, and supposedly will eat everything that shares a tank with.......

I for one find some of that hard to believe, (but what do I know, I've never kept this fish before) but I have kept Exodon Paradoxus. I' ve seen these tetras DEVOUR a fish the size of a Red-tail Catfish and keep a pack of piranha in one corner of a tank until their fatal demise.

I would like to keep these two fish together in a large heavily decorated/planted tank!!!!!

Give me your thoughts on this combination.:naughty:
 
Why would you want to?
MOST snakehead being sub tropical and Exodons being tropical . . .

Your Exodons would most likely be a heavy snack for the SH.
And if that doesn't happen then it could go the other way (most likely not), but why would you even want to take the chance?

Bad move, bad bad move.
 
seems to me it would just end up a giant two way feeding frenzy until all you're left with is a bloody and severely injured survivors if any..
 
I guess your all right, I just HATE putting together a species only tank because almost every fish in the world lives alongside some other type of species that is not considered prey. I would only consider a species tank good, only to breed them.
