Channa micropeltes is a large, aggressive carnivorous fish, requiring substantial space when kept in aquariums. Due to their territorial nature, they are best kept alone or in very large tanks to minimize aggression. They are powerful swimmers, and a secure, covered aquarium is essential as they can leap with substantial force.
