Diet: Feed a varied diet of high-quality pellets, live or frozen foods such as shrimp, earthworms, small fish, and other meaty foods. Channa pulchra is carnivorous and requires a protein-rich diet to thrive.

Tankmates: Due to their predatory and territorial nature, it's best to keep Channa pulchra either alone or with large, robust fish that can handle their aggression. They may hunt smaller fish, so avoid keeping with delicate or slow-moving species. Providing hiding spots and territories is essential to reduce stress.
