Hello everyone,

I am new to fish keeping, and the first large (kinda) fish I choose is snakeheads!

However, I have a custom made tank with a length x width x height of 145 x 37.5 x 68.5 cm (or around 57 x 14 x 26 inches), which I would like to keep a pair of dwarf or small snakeheads in.

I live in Thailand and room temperature ranges around 24-30c during the day.

Could you please suggest what kind of dwarf or small snakeheads I should keep in the tank? Will the tank be too cramped for a pair of Channa Asiatica? Will Channa Ornatipinnis or Channa Bleheri be too uncomfortable with the temperature?

Thank you for any comments :)
