CHANNIDAE > Powitanie
Hi from France
xHuskx:
Hi guys,
My name is Cedric, i live in France and i've just discovered your forum while i was doing researchs on Channas.
I have a spare tank for my future Channa, it is a covered tank from Eheim, 130x55x55cm.
I'm currently hesitating between a group of dwarf species in order to have a pair at the end or a solo medium size Channa.
Most of the time i read that having a pair and breeding is the most interesting part of keeping channas. But in the case of breeding you have to find new owners for all the babies and that is what worrying me. I know there is some channa addict in France, but it may be a challenge at each breeding...
I hope you will be able to help me of at least to give your advice on my project
Here is the tank with a temporary set up and missing rocks at the moment.
Thanks in advance
And sorry for speaking english, the only polish word i know are for keeping a dog ^^

Welcome Cedric on our forum ;D
I know that in France are some channa keepers.
One of them used to keep even channa argus.
I just forgot his name.
Your setup looks good mate :)
With rocks,sand and more hidden places it will be a nice home for snakeheads.
You asking about a species for you.
So the most important question is what kind of temperature you can keep in your tank?
As you maybe know there are subtropical and tropical species.
The best option is to buy a group of 6-8 young snakeheads and let them do the rest.
What kind of species you can get in France?

Hi Peterek,
Indeed there are channa keepers. One of them was quite well known in the hobby, he passed away few years ago. He had a website called Base channa.
Of course there are still other channa keepers, but it's kind of difficult to talk with them. Facebook has killed the good old forums, it is more difficult to exchange...
Rocks are planned in my set up and plants of course, cause i love them.
I am aware for the sub/tropical species yes. The tank is in a moderate tempered room so without heater the temperature should be around 17°C - 18°C. Not less.
In France you can find most of the species online. The fish come from Aquarium Glaser.
For exemple: https://www.aquaterra-diffusion.fr/?product_cat=&s=channa&post_type=product
You can also find them sometimes from private seller.

For some subtropical species this temperature is fine.
For others needs to be lower.
Do you prefer keep tropical or subtropical snakeheads?

And what do they have?
xHuskx:
Yes Eric, known as xrank on Youtube.
To be honest i don't have any preference between subtropical or Tropical, i am fine to adapt my set up to the spécies ;)
Since i am looking for Channa i check classified ad, i often see Asiatica, Gachua or Pulchra fry.
Sometimes adult Andrao
I may have a contact for Gachua Blue Bengal or Harcoubutleri
