and your 180 gallon tank have an oscar with 6 other snakeheads? many many years ago, my snakehead ate my oscar....so sad for it but end up no need to feed him for days

They are definitely not a community fish... Remember the youtube video that eat the Cichlids... Even a fast moving Cichlids also kanna killed in a few seconds...

well, channa have a bad reputation for the aggression of the larger species. Dwarf species and mid sized snakeheads are usually much more mellow. You can community them with fish that they can't fit in their mouth. I would community my true blue with other fish but the tank requirement for this species is fairly specific. These need pretty cool water (16C ish) or else they can get susceptible to bacterial infection but otherwise, i could put it with other fish if i wanted to
