Still can hold on for a few more days for snake head
If it is too tough then introduce some tankmate thta eat mp then try again.

I prefer to com it with slow eater like soon hock,oscar to train them,pb no chances for channa to eat,it eat fast n furious.

Definitely not bigger than Channa micropeltes.

Channa striata commonly known as Haruan, not sure how big it grows up to, will estimate to be around 2ft.

My pleuro actually really do not like frozen foods but loves pellet foods, I tried MP, mussels and anchovys but most of the time it just ignores them.. I feed mine hikari floating carnivoure and sinking massivoure pellets so you could try those to see if it wants to eat them..
