Untill I see any signs off aggression of which there isn't yet and hasnt been for the few weeks it has been in with it.
It was put in with the Auranti when I had to seperate it from the other redfin it was with. The pictured one was the aggressor.
I see, if the sp.redfins growth rate is anything like the sp.fire and ice growth rate it won't be long before it becomes dangerous for the redfin. Is that auranti around 7 inches?Auranti's are not vicious piscivores but the redfin may not survive the first sign of aggression from an Aurantimaculata. Plan on getting any more redfins to disperse the aggression?
BTW, for those with mature sp. redfins, how many inches would you say this species maxes out at?

There is no aggression between the two, and if there is the redfin goes elsewhere.
My The pictured Auranti as around 9-10" the redfin is around 6".
And no, won't get anymore. If I decide this chappy has been a good fishy, I may let him back into the tank with the other redfins.

Tokyo its no good, i had to comment on this, you know it yourself, it would be bad enough if they were both the same size. The size differences are far too big.
The first to die will be the redfin.
I wasnt sure to whether to make a comment on this but i wouldnt like to see your fish get killed. You know yourself you must never mix channa, and apparently there is NO bending the rules. Especially with Aurantimaculata, one of the most aggressive channa, that will not tolerate other channa.
It was bad enough what i was doing with babies and likewise, there was no aggrression between Pulchra and Assam, but I wasn't prepared to take the chance off what the pros were saying and neither should you, you know how irresponsible it is.

Thanks for your concern, But my knowledge of channa and channa behavior is more than enough to ensure the well being of all my fish.
That said one major problem with keeping channa (especially in the hoipe of breeding) is that sometimes fish need to be seperated. Now I'm not in an area of the world where I can simply pass down an unwanted fish to friends of even sell, So when a group of channa are pairing or when in-species aggression starts the choices I have are limited.
Do I simply leave the quarreling channa to fight to death? Or do I simply cull the problematic fish?
Or the other option is to put said channa in very large tank with an Auranti.
Well you see the choice I made.
While I appreciate your "concern" Danny, I feel that you might not be in the correct place to give me advice on keeping Channa.
Please don't take this as an insult or anything like, but mearly an observation.
Cheers, TG
No offence taken and none meant, im only passing on the same advice i was given.
Maybe you're taking on too many fish if you dont have enough tank space.
Maybe give me that Auranti. lol
All the Best,
Danny
