Hi, I'm very interested in the colourful dwarf snakehead species, however from what I know most of them are subtropical. As I'm living in Thailand and the weather is quite hot, other than the channa gachua, what are some species of dwarf snakeheads that are able to tolerate tropical temperatures year round?
 
Nothing,just room temp.Plenty of guys in Indo who breed pulchra at tropical temps.They don't need a winter rest period as cold as indian sub tropicals.I got an auranti a few months ago and now he's at 17c (winter rest period,during the summer i'll leave his tank at room temp and it'll get 30+) the room his tank is in has air conditioning so it helps keep the tank cool.You could buy an aquarium chiller but i've heard those are expensive.
