I can hear them loading the guns as I type... Tank police incoming :saddam:


They'd be right though. Your tank is too small for what you have already and you're stocking is certainly questionable. I wouldn't then be looking to add another 7-8" fish in there with them too.

The only thing I can think is that they are all 1" and you havent noticed how big tbey are gonna get. A simple google search will tell you how big each of your fish are going to get.

I am upgrading the tank when there all slightly bigger there all only around 2inchs in size, I'm getting a much larger tank to house them all

And the fish housed in there at the moment are totally fine had no problems what so ever and the people at the store said there would be no problem

I think you might end up with an empty tank and a very chubby snakehead. Or possibly a stressed out snakehead gone belly-up. Either way, I don't think it'll be too pretty

I have just added the snakehead its benn in the tank for around 5 days and seems perfectly happy with its surroundings and other fish the people at the store said I would be fine aswell and it now has a hiding place next to my golden nugget catfish, getting a tank upgrade soon aswell can't wait!
