AllGo'n'Show Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) Hey all, Well haven't posted in a long time, moved houses since then and changed stock. Here is my 44gal again Currently housing a Dwarf Snakehead, perfect size for a 44gal from what I could find, aparantly even a pair *maybe breeding would be nice* could live together in the tank. Here are some videos of him as well. Currently on a half flake/half live fish diet, don't know what the store fed him but he likes both. Going to switch to mostly live food diet soon. Comments always welcome! Edited April 13, 2007 by AllGo'n'Show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBrain Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Looks Like Channa Gachua. I have one of them myself, along with 3 Channa Bleheri. If you are looking for another we should talk. It doesn't get along with the bleheri very well. I love Channa, and that is a nice fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllGo'n'Show Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 May be helping Fishbrain and myself out today as well! Really starting to love my gachua even more, his colours have gotten even brighter since the first day I brought him home. Wacthing him hunt is a thrill, I've probably put a good 8-10 hours of that in, in the last week. Will try and get some better shots of his colours and maybe soon of 2 of them living together.

AllGo'n'Show Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) My new Albino from Riverfront... And hopefully 1 more, little larger but normal coloured Gachua coming tomorrow as well. Someone who knows more about snakeheads then me please help me out here. The video below is of the aggresive behaviour my first Gachua is showing towards his new tankmate, the Albino. Is this just territorial, or is it somethign else that will end up lethal? I've since adjusted all the plants and rocks and such in the tank and going to be doing a water change as soon as its posted to help bring everyones stress level down for the night. Thanks everyone!

FishBrain Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 That sign of aggression and domination is normal for them. YES it could turn out bad, but isn't that the fun of having them because of the aggression? Keep a close eye on them and see what happens. Last night the Gachua came out and took two big hits onto the smaller of my bleheri, put a few marks on its back and sent it on its way. It only seems to pick on that one. I am assuming it is because the others have paired up, and if he comes near them the male goes crazy. swelling his head and swaying back and forth. I have noticed the Gachua to be more aggressive than the bleheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morhua Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 You may want to think about adding some additional cover (e.g., rock caves or bog wood). This would provide some hiding cover and might help with establishing boundaries. Nice fish. Good luck. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllGo'n'Show Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Well got FishBrain's gachua into my tank now, added some enw driftwood to mix up the territories agian. There was a little skuffle at the beginning, The original Gachua was picking on the Albino, the Albino was picking on the new one, then he snapped around at the original and the new guy is now just chillin behind his driftwood. They've finally settled down after an hour or 2. Will take some pics later tonight of all 3 if I can, waiitng for the tank to chill out a bit and settle as the new driftwood and me moving stuff aroudn stirred it up a little.

AllGo'n'Show Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) Updates... Here's some pictures of the new bristlenose in the 44gal.... everyone had their nip at him before but have left him alone after the first hour or so of being in the new home, looks good for him so far.... Within a few hours of being in the tank.. Here is FishBrain's old Gachua, doing well so far, little roughed up from the first day of territories but he's doing much better now... Little video update of the 44gal as of 2 days ago, has settled down temperment wise more since the video thankfully. (UPLOADING RIGHT NOW, WILL POST LINK WHEN DONE) Edited April 20, 2007 by AllGo'n'Show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllGo'n'Show Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I have a few new pics of my Pleco in my 10gal, I'm still trying to figure out what species he his, can someone help me out here? I'll continue to post up pictures until I can get some new ones, but he's very shy. Anyone got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
