When do channa micro become nasty??

[SNRMADE]

I was just wondering when a channa micropeltes starts to become a terror? Do they start to become agro when juvies at 3'' or larger,like 6'' and up?

depends on the fish.
but mine at 1.5 - 2 inches are already tearing apart everything.
but thats because theyre in a school of 25 plus.
when theres many of them,they get nasty immediately.
when you just keep one,you can even have tankmates that are big enough not to get eaten.
have 2 - 3 and theyll start killing tankmates at around 8 inches.
my old pair killed off big fish by tearing them apart.
the small ones i have now just take turns biting the platies til death.

not really.
that only applies when you have one.
when you have two or more they tear the fish apart.
