kdpuffer said:Well after a trip to my LFS yesterday I learned he was getting some snakeheads in. After another trip down there today I am so getting a couple. They aren't illegal here and I am not releasing them into the wild. About an hour after he got them he was kind enough to feed them for my and they are savage.
kdpuffer said:Yes they are an invasive species. It's kinda ironic he got them in cause I just watched the snakehead episode of river monsters last weekend. In the US they have been somehow introduced into the wild and have spread like a plague, consequently they are illegal in alot of places, in Canada they are not yet. They are savage predators that eat anything and attack like something out of a horror story. They will fit right in with my tigerfish. I've done some research on them and the red snakehead is the name given to the fry/juveniles of the giant snakehead. After I watched the snakehead episode of river monsters the first time a year or so ago I found the giant snakehead to be a rather pretty fish with really nice markings and coloration, wanted one ever since and now I have them set aside I learn they are the species I really wanted, bonus. I have a video of them I took earlier and I'll post a link once I upload it to YouTube.
kdpuffer said:Love it jeta that was a good chuckle, thank you. But seriously that tank is not suitable for 4 predators, they get huge lol.

kdpuffer said:I am getting 2, they are a schooling fish when young but they grow they split up and then eventually form breeding pairs and guard their eggs/fry with ferocity. I am hoping to get a tank that's at least 300 gallons, hopefully closer to 500. My tigerfish is the vittatus so they don't get as big as a Goliath. They reach approx 3 feet in length. I will likely build a custom tank that offers a larger footprint and not as much height as a typical tank. It will also need tight fitting lids as snakehead are jumpers. They also breathe air which you can actually seem them do in the video I posted. I am stoked, taking the little guy with me here shortly to go get them.
kdpuffer said:Oh on a side note, I am so getting the season of river monsters with the tigerfish and snakehead, with luck I'll watch it tonight with the kids.
