My giant snakehead tank with mates

[dragonfish1ca]

My snakehead is about 14" long now and doing great he lives with 2 silver arowanas and a redtail cat. a pair of adult motoro stingrays moved in there till My tank rack gets built
I was going to post questions about compatability before i got him..... But really..... He is a snakehead.... 50/50 he will kill anything that backs down from him.
Thank god for all the stickys guys..... I did my research well before this purchase and everything was bang on here.

there are a lot of stories of micros doing fine initally but they end up attacking and killing their tankmates, are just so unpredictable... i'd say that it's fairly likely it will attack and kill one of the arows

Nice snakehead. Very nice camo lol
Are you planning to put any gravel/ sand or decoration in the tank?

He kicked the crap out of a 14" clown knife.... a tiger shovelnose and a redtail giant gourami already......
The aro's and the rtc wont back down from him one inch.... he gets moody they come flying at him just as fast but then again you never know....
Ide rather give it a shot then not in the event they live happy ever after it will be worth a few lost scales while they a foot and not 3....

Nope, Bare bottom for this tank..... Way too much food comes in and out to have anything that will collect anything that will rot....
90 gallon sump on this tank..... its overkill but not for the fish lol
