yup yup... they do... hmmm so mine is already breeding age... hahaha... btw both the male and female is ard 1.5" also... lets just hope they will breed soon...
what are you feeding them with? i'm still trying to train mine to eat dried foods. They've been quite resistant to it, only taking tentative bites of tetra pro colour and nothing else but frozen bloodworms
i feed them bloodworm, live brine shrimp, frozen brine shrimp, frozen daphnia..
but daphnia only the female will eat...
going to try beef heart and pellets... lol...
Nice setup. Fish don.t look juvenile. Ripe age for spawning especially the male. Suggest conditioning the pair before spawning. Female a bit on the thin side. Good luck

Channoides max out at 2inches so I would say your fish is ready. It take quite a while for them to reach that length.

Haha you can't just simply put the fish to spawn just like that. Don't forget the male will be fasting for 12 days at least. Before you run a marathon, you need to keep fit and prepare yourself for the run right? You're right in a way. Feed the fish well and make sure they are in tip top healthy condition then introduce the pair. Let nature take it's course....

Hahas
I would prefer channoides to stay in this size, small and cute....
Each fish has their own beauty in terms of size, patterns, coloration and behaviour
