    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

    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....
