That fish seems like a young snakehead... Heavy eater and grow real fast... Your tank might be too small...
bought at c328 ($1.50) a bag those kind.
I just wanted to know what they are n their habits. Seems to behave like canivores.

Good fish ain't cheap... Cheap fish ain't gd...
Breeding Apisto inca and Apisto guttata...
That is a baby Toman or Giant Snakehead, Channa micropeltes. The adult form is huge and will need a giant tank to survive in.

This fish is a voracious predator of smaller fishes, so the feeder guppies in that tank will disappear sooner or later. They poop a lot and need a good filter that can keep up with the amount of waste they produce. Very great jumpers too.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
all your mollies and guppies are in danger.... save them. haha....
Any Channa lovers? Just for dwarf snakehead.
Baby toman/snakeheads are attractive with its orange stripes. As they grow older, they change their colour, losing the orange. They can grow to an extremely large size and are ferocious predators. They make good pets for hobbyists who like carnivorous fishes. Unlike dwarf snakeheads, they often outgrow their tanks. Large tomans are cooked and eaten by some people.
I used to frequent Bishan Park years ago to look at the wild guppies and mosquito fish, until one day found the pond inhabited by larger tomans. Could barely find any guppies then When released to the wild, they can cause serious eco damage as they would feed on smaller fish.
Fancy Guppies: Many cute ones. Live Fish Fry Cultures: Microworms, Grindal worms & Vinegar eels.
