what are tank mates for snakeheads?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
super - mine was like that until about 8 inches. He was always VERY aggressive to fish, but totally scared of me. I would come to the tank and he'd dart under a cave every time.

Now he has no fear, he flares his gills and wags his tail whenever I approach. No fear at all.

Opiate - in fact when this channa was about 5 inches it beat up a 7/8 inch jardini.
 
rumble- did the channa get used to u on it's own or did u have to do something? mine was not scared of me at all until my girl friend thought that it was fun to open her mouth in front of the SH and scare him. and for 2months now, he's scared of me.
 
I didn't do anything special at all, one day he stopped running when he saw me, then a whlile later he started flaring his gills and aggressively wagging his tail when I approached.

I like to tease him, quickly moving my head from one side of the tank to the other, he chases me furiously and sometimes even bites the glass.

That's only within the last couple of months he's started to bite the glass.

Funny thing is, he's slightly less aggressive with other fish than he used to be. He doesn't kill them instantly anymore.
