Snakeheads together?

[Miks786]

Hey guys whats the chances of keeping a 12'' Channa marulioides and a 8'' Channa micropeltes together?

Im worried that my marulioides would eat the micropeltes? Any suggestions?

Maruloides will destroy the micro.

if the micro can hide long enough to outgrow the maruloides, then the micro will eat his tankmate.

As forementionned, those are not community fish. Even less so considering a channa only hates one thing more than tankmates: channa tankmates.
