| − | :Asia: India. | + | |sexing=:Mature females will be fuller in the belly, but only significantly when in breeding condition. They are exceptionally difficult to breed in captivity. |

A group can be kept, but only in very large aquaria with plenty of hiding places, and fighting may still occur. Robust fish of similar size should be tolerated by this Snakehead such as large [[:Category:Plecos|Plecos]] and larger [[:Category:Squeaker Catfish|Synodontis]], but with caution.
