Which snakehead do you recommend?

The point is that the stress caused by a regular water change is often more detrimental then what little buildup that might occur
the combination of floating plant life and an understocked setup with fairly low food requirements tends to stop buildup From being much an issue. They show no signs of stress in these setups.

Snakehead tanks usually have one pair or whatever in a decent size tank and given their liking for heavily planted tanks it helps reduce buildup. People have found they don't really breed and pairs can split with the stress of frequent WC
That's another good point , if you pair them you almost have to limit water changes and temperatures to match the natural seasonal cycle or they will eventually turn on eachother.
I actually lost all my males this winter, even my auranti male and they've been breeding successfully for years now. all due to a warm snap in the middle of winter. The rise in temps makes males friskey but if it happens too early and the females arnt ready to except the attempt they butcher the male.
