The Snakehead Forum

my pulchra are doing the dance over and over, I haven't seen eggs yet tho, but don't want to disturb them too much.

Pretty amazing considering one was from LFS and one from Jos, so not a pair that chose each other from a group and they are my first and only channa! So, I'm well chuffed with that, as you can imagine.

A couple of questions
- Will they make a bubble nest type of thing?
-Are they likely to kill the 3 neons, 1 borneo sucker and 1 small bristlenose plec in the tank? Or would they have done that by now, if they were going to?
-Should I carry on as normal ( normal food/occasional water changes etc),
-should I do anything different at all???
Apologies for newbie questions. All keep your fingers crossed.

Borneo suckers (hillstream loaches) have all been hounded to death and not eaten. Has the killing spree begun?

Neons? really ? wow they should be gone!

Every fish in with them will be beaten to death if not removed.

when youve done that just leave them in peace (no water changes).feed as normal.

They will hide their eggs at the surface amongst the floating plants (if you have any in there) so no nest as such.

Chances are there are eggs or wrigglers in there already ,anyhoo good luck with them and keep us up dated.

p.s you might wanna re jig your filtration (no current at the surface) as every thing needs to be calm as possible.

nothing as yet, but they still writhe about with each other. Maybe next year after the tank cool down
