Rocky the Snakehead fish gets a reprieve from the DEC

[GvFighterKs92]

not look like giant snake head @@

[Revenand4120]

Love Rocky, he's awesome... what type of Snakehead is he? I'm lucky enough to live in a place where they are legal and have a Chevron Snakehead, he's only a couple months old though and still only a few inches long... can't wait for him to get big like Rocky :)

[firmflayer]

he looks small for his age had 2 my self 3 years old much bigger that him but nice fun fish with attitude

[JackofSpades52]

Rock on dude. We shouldn't be restricted on the things we love and enjoy because of other idiots who don't know how to handle things. If these are "so bad to keep" what is with others like pirana, gar, sharks? Keep fighting, I think you are doing the right thing.

[nineball999999999]

Don't care for them. They are ruining the waters for fisherman. Double points for killing them.

[1991Boarder24]

kill the fucker!

[BuckshotPaintball]

@1991Boarder24 screw you, they're beautiful fish, i have a northern snakehead, they are amazing and way more fun than a dog or some fucking cat

[Noelgodzilla1212]

Thank God I live in the Philippines where snakeheads aren't so overpublicized and are legal to keep as pets. But seriously, how can a snakehead pose a threat if itsin an aquarium? And by the way, how is Rocky now?

[gearsofwar2pwnfest]

you are a retard this fish should be shot

[bleebleblabble72]

Eat it!

[raider123456789123]

How did they found out over your snakehead?

[aucita]

im more concerned with mexicans.

[Ballersonabudget]

Personally I don't think they should be killed, cuz bass are damn near just as aggressive as a snake head. BUT I do think they should be removed from americas waters and contained in thier own speacial lakes or whatever it takes for them to stop destroying ecosystems. They still deserve to live, just because they are known to kill anything they see doesn't mean they have to die. Just simply toss em in your rodbox till you get back to the launch and all launches should have tanks that people who

[thisisnotatag]

@Ballersonabudget you cant just remove them from our waters and place them somewhere else...remember...they can walk ( slither) on land and breathe air..so remove them and im sure they can find there way back

[ww3x]

way to go its a pet its the asses out there that ruin it for others who are responsible it is a pet.. stand by you 100%

[charrington17]

He rocks

[SuburbanNinja8000]

Fuck your snake Head he needs to die... or be go back to China its your chose,

[charrington17]

@SuburbanNinja8000 You are a idiot snakeheads rule, youre justa Bum rag

[SuburbanNinja8000]

@charrington17 HA... Bull shit. They should be on a dinner plate.

[missman0009]

@SuburbanNinja8000 only one species comes from China you ignorant faggot.

[SuburbanNinja8000]

@missman0009 O really... That is so cool if they were in the Country's that they need to be in. Where there numbers are not really sky rocketing and killing our Fish in our Country. (Turely I couldn't give a flying fuck about that. Am Ignorant I know this least someone like me can amend to it and be proud about it. Also, Faggot doesn't mean anything now. Really its a fucking dumb word "you ignorant "faggot". I laugh at it also. Plus your 25 can you come up with a better word than faggot?

[missman0009]

@SuburbanNinja8000 Oh so you want to berate my diction okay lets analyze yours. First, country doesn't need to be capitalized idiot. Two, what are you "amend" to? I think you meant admit. Really how can anyone be so stupid as to mix that up. It's such a simple word, Christ I'm glad you "amend" that you're ignorant, because you sure as fuck are. Of the 28 species of Snakehead species kept as pets only one the Northern is invasive the should'd be banned and attacked by assholes like you.

[SuburbanNinja8000]

@missman0009 I couldn't give a flying fuck about snakehead Fish, Please stop wasteing my time Please. I like My Palm Trees and Repitles (Non - invasive). I love this Place American were I was born and I don't want my ecosystem to die out to you shallow assholes.

[missman0009]

@SuburbanNinja8000 I'm a biology major with an interest in aquatic ecosystems. I'm right there with you, our environment is precious and needs to be preserved, but it can be done in a way that both keeps our waterways intact and the aquarium hobby strong with research and reasonable response to a problem. What's totally unjust is banning a whole species of fish while only one is invasive. I really doubt your herps are non invasive unless you've plucked them local.

[SuburbanNinja8000]

@missman0009 Ok... I have Greater repsed for you now. Sorry for talking shit to you. I Though you were some 12 Year kid. Yea, maybe I was being little Freak out for the snakeheads (like I said in a kinder note) I turely don't care about the fish. But, its cool for you to keep studying this please do.

[AQW1stLordOfChaos]

those pookeys breath frikin air!

[customlegokarl]

first of all give him a bigger tank you fucktard

[missman009]

Nevermind Rocky's dead. Big fucking disappointment.

[missman009]

Found a save Rocky facebook page and it said that they had the fish for ten year prior to Snakeheads ban. Now I'm no lawyer, but doesn't this conflict with the Grandfather clause?

[RNB123abc]

mhm, no. free world. lmao. And if you have a problem with the way I talk then that's your problem. And were on computers, I'm going to miss type.

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

LOL, it's so funny correcting stupid white people like you. Its "we're" as in "we are", not "were". You're white and your english is so terrible HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

hey fatass, you also failed to understand what the argument is all about instead you go cursing at some random person YOU don't even know so why not you quit typing and turn off your pc stupid redneck.

[SparetheChange]

@PsyCoBoY510

fat people are so funny nowadays. they get easily pissed off and are very self-conscious about their appearance. i guess that's why fat people tend to be more ignorant cuz they can't accept the truth.

[feelthewrath1234]

@RNB123abc

seriously, your grammar is horrible no joke...no wonder all these people marked you as spam.

[RNB123abc]

@feelthewrath1234 okay for ur info we r both all A's students and no one cares about grammer on here

[joshperry4real]

this is awesome i didnt even know you could get a permit for those, and i think they should start banning people from keeping big cats and monkeys before they baned snakeheads

[seth61682]

I agree that snakeheads in the US wild can be harmful but rocky didnt do shit, leave this man and that beautiful snakehead alone. Sweet Snakehead!

[feelthewrath1234]

@RNB123abc

and if you do karate, can you make a video to demonstrate of you doing karate? if not, quit lieing over the internet. ANYBODY can say "I'm a 8th dregree black belt in taekwondo or i'm a professional MMA fighter".

[RNB123abc]

@feelthewrath1234 stfu get a life all off u no prof u aint fat and my cousin is 400 pounds and he's a 3rd degree black belt

[feelthewrath1234]

@RNB123abc

There you go with the stupid lies. Seriously, if you can't demonstrate a video of you doing karate or your "400 pound" 3rd degree black belt, SHUT THE FUCK UP cuz you're lieing as fuck -___-. you have a camera also. i bet you can't even raise your leg above the knees lieing fat fuck

[helloworld274]

@RNB123abc thats one fatass cousin you got. i'd give him a big mac then beat the shit out of you

[PsyCoBoY510]

Rocky is in a aquarium all alone, how can he be hurting and killing all the other fishes in the environment if he's in that aquarium.

[RNB123abc]

@PsyCoBoY510 idiot those breeds kill other fish and PEOPLE!

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

no shit snakehead kills other fishes.

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

nah, you're the dumbass. "ur" is the same as "your" not "you're". why not you stfu bitch. That Snakehead has been in that aquarium for so damn long. Of course, fuck snakeheads in the wild, but i'm cool with a snakehead in a aquarium cuz do u know why? cuz they're kept alone and they CAN'T KILL any other fishes if they're alone. why not you stfu cuz you can''t back up your shit.

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

nah, you're the dumbass. "ur" is the same as "your" not "you're". why not you stfu bitch. That Snakehead has been in that aquarium for so damn long. Of course, fuck snakeheads in the wild, but i'm cool with a snakehead in a aquarium cuz do u know why? cuz they're kept alone and they CAN'T KILL any other fishes if they're alone. why not you stfu cuz you can''t back up your shit.

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

i know u read my first post about Rocky, looks like you failed to understand what i'm trying to say so stfu.

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

if you're one of those typical trolls who curse at random people just for the heck of it, get a life. And don't forget to loss that fatass jelly roll of yours cuz YOU'RE the reason why America is the fattest country in the world.

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

LOL BEAT MY ASS!?!?!? HAHAHAHAH LIKE YOU CAN FUN SIZE FAGGOT. looks like you also misput "you're" instead you put "your" as possesion. What a muthafucking dumbfuck. this is elementary shit and u don't even know basic english!?! LOL

[RNB123abc]

@PsyCoBoY510

Do you really think I care if i don't speak proper English? Well, I don't. I'm in 8th grade so yeah I'm going to speak like a teenager. And I'm serious about if i knew where you were I'd beat your ass, I'm not going to just sit here, and let a complete stranger talk like a fucking jerk to my best friend, I'm not going to let that happen. So you better shut your fucking mouth now.

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

8th grade!?!?!? HOPE YOU FAIL LIFE LITTLE GIRL IF U KEEP UP TALKING LIKE A TEENAGER yet you still have an elementary english basics HAHAHAHAH. ok first of all, u can't beat my ass cuz u don't know where i live so stfu and quit acting hella hard on the internet. Second of all, YOU don't know any self-defense so there's no way you can beat my ass. Third of all, i'm way older than you so there's no absolute way you CAN't beat my ass. Lastly, your fatass friend is the first one to post

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

um...why not you correct your grammar "your", and its "you're" as in "you are" stupid bitch. Run along now and fix your grammar fatass

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

"your probably that fat one". its "the fat one". LOL it's so funny correcting a stupid little girl who knows English basics and considered you're white?!?!?! LOL i aint even fat but your friend is a fatass.

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

[PsyCoBoY510]

@RNB123abc

[tharguyoverthere16]

[drewgutterz]

@PsyCoBoY510 Your basic english would be correct punctuation as well. Your a moron. Have a nice day. P.S. your "muthafucking" is not grammatically correct idiot.

[matthew92202]

im a hunter and a fishermen its a fish omg ppl let it live fuck acting like pussys

[FinalFury3x]

Why are people getting so worked up over a fish? <:/

[RoboUniverse]

@FinalFury3x because they destroy every other kind of fish they come across and can survive for days out of water (which is what they do to move from one body of water to another) & they reproduce like mad and just fuck things up. They are cooooooo

[FinalFury3x]

@RoboUniverse I know that I meant keeping it as a pet! seems kinda pathetic

[RoboUniverse]

@FinalFury3x The guy loves his pet man! :)

[Affliction003]

Kill all of them,

[Splinter363]

the greatest achievement and accomplishment in your life? ha. kill that thing, it's a danger to the ecosystem. get a goldfish or beta you dumb fuck... and find some better achievements to accomplish.

[missman009]

@Splinter363 goldfish can be invasive species too. And he's fighting a very unjust law.

[missman009]

@RNB123abc what a stupid question of course they aren't, they're fucking goldfish. I'm just saying that there are species of fish that are way more harmful to the environment then the Snakehead. For ex. the Asian carp is poised to infect the entire great lake system, and are they banned, No. The Snakehead was over publicised by the media, which fed blantant lies that they eat dogs and cats. I will now say that i hate you and that im smarted than you, so kindly FUCK OFF.

[RNB123abc]

@missman009 FUCK YOU! they aren't over publisized if a fing dog goes swimming with them they will attack they've attacked humans before and r extramly vilent fish even if they rn't hurngry our ur in the territory or anything they will still attack u

[missman009]

@RNB123abc Lets see, there were specials on Snakehead invasion on both animal planet and msnbc, they were featured on every major television and newspaper. See something with sharp teeth, walks on land, and is known to bite, is easy to write a story on. So yeah they were over publisized. There are no reports of Northern Snakehead attacks on either people or pets, they're asian cousins are a bite nastier. They're about as dangerous as a pike or muskie. These fish need to be unbanned. I want one.

[RNB123abc]

@missman009 hmm do i look like i give a shit about what u say no u just had to be alittle basturded and keep talking there is nothing wrong with me stateing my opinion on this and u should fuck off.

[omega45red]

why is it in US snakeheads become pests? how come in asia they are edible food and pets? maybe native fishes in US(some places only) are weaklings lol... why not make it as food? it is fairly possible...

[thecreech77]

snakeheads are here to stay. there is no way to totaly kill them off, so get over it.. i think that they are beautiful fish, im not saying it is right to release them in to the wild but now that they have been and there not going anywhere . why be all kinds of ass holes to people that like them.. if he wants to keep his fish alive, afish he has had for 11 years. let him.. and get off his nutz....

[lauraf54]

IT SHOULD BE KILLED!!!!! WHO CARES ABOUT UR SUPPORTERS!!!!! THEY ARE ILLEGAL AND KILLING MANY NATIVE FISH!!!!! KILL ROCKY!!!!

[ryanreardon16]

There illegal

[beemiller816]

dude where did u get it. i have got to own one. b_miller1@live.com if u need to get ahold of me by email

[christianantipas]

omg keep fighting it is not right for them to kill poor rocky

[johnnuico]

@evildeeds84: Its what you call progress... Besides dogs are good eating, its part of culture. -No asshole or a group of assholes from the 1st world country can do shit about it.

[xxxpatricexx]

it has a reason why they want to kill the fish!!! bcuz in China it bit a persons hand and its like really big!! and it also eat ANYTHING!!!! so that its really bad if u keep it, it can also walk on land for 3 days straight!!!! so i think u just agree with the people okay? (i know this bcuz i watched it last nght at my t.v.)

[evildeeds84]

this is the most beautiful fish of them all its ashame that there killin them in usa. jus because it takes ova killin all in site. humans were once like this and still are! but yet we chose there fate! bullshit! fair play mate. glad there legal in the uk =)

[TheCBaNkA]

dec are bunch of fucking hippe fags

[dirtbaggz]

dude...my only youtube video up right now has snakeheads in it.. they sell them here in fishmarkets for food...alive of course. Come by take a look and comment.

[bboyz559]

damn bro dont listen to these dudes if its ur fish den u keep him its not like ur gonna throw it in a river or sumthing but yea its a nice fish dont listen to all these bs tat they r giving u.... like i said its ur fish u have all da rites to keep it.....

[mynameurghost]

they are deadly, im still pretty conflicted bout this, well then again as long as ur not gonna free him... :)

[isaiahdawg101]

dude dont be dumb kill it eat it and buy a better fish

[b1gjd]

Kill it. Eat him. Those fish have no business being in America and you have no business owning it.

[TheRandomAssassin1]

The reason they kill them is because they can overrun ecosystems. I don't think they should kill you pet though.

[iamemerican]

snakeheads are really cool fishes and i hope you get to keep him!!! KEEP FIGHTING!

[adrenalinejunkie444]

dude their geat eatin. kill it and fry it up!

[Jerdo2]

good for you man people are freaking out too much about a fish if you arnt gonna release it into the wild theres no point in freaking out about it

[McCurnalz]

its ok to keep it as a pet but not in Florida so it truly is contreversial

[wolf6335]

if its a pet ok but if its wild kill it snake heads can killl people its already wiped out most of the fish population in florida they are relly dangerous thier afraid that tey will enter the everglades

[AidanM1990]

keep fighting dude! i want a snakehead but been told you cant get them in australia, shame, such a nice friendly fish, i'd pay $500 to have one

[Spicymon]

@AidanM1990 friendly fish??? haha u don't know much about snakeheads. there one of the most aggressive out there.

[adrenalinejunkie444]

@AidanM1990 u dont want a snakehead. they have nasty razor sharp teeth and may be cute as a babie but if their in the wild their an invasive species

[evildeeds84]

@AidanM1990 there legal in the uk cause they cant live through english winters. in gettin 2 next week =)

[treysan257]

you cant blame the gov. though too many people get exotic animals only to let them loose when they dont know how to properly keep them or they are abused....however in this case its obvious youre a responsible owner and the animal is being well kept..good luck : )

[outdoorsmike]

hes a monster! nice size mate. keep up the good work. fight fr what is right.

[blan75]

do someon know what the movie that was made of the snakehead fish?

[specvwhite]

Man I hate the current laws.. I miss both of my Snakeheads...great pets. keep fighting man.

[iCantTinkOfaGudName]

How mad would You be if he died the day you bought the permit (touch wood)

[GreedyHoe108]

cool man an kill

[chrisharris1117]

snakeheads are not anything good they kill the speciese people try to cathc not the damn things they all should be killed

[starcraftbw]

@chrisharris1117 so people should kill you when you killed other animals?

[evildeeds84]

@chrisharris1117 you should be killed u twat. what gives us the rite 2 say what stays n what goes. atleast there bred and legal in the uk. so go ahead kill um n we'll make more n more bwhahahahah

[KEEPitSTUPID]

hell, do people go on here to release anger or what?! is it because he cant see you bones that your so hard? abuse for no reason, pretty sad its died anyway like lol

[MoniqueDMC]

they allowed him to keep it, but he died december 17th '09

[ebernard8523]

Did they let u keep it please let me know when u get a chance thank's.

[raider123456789123]

Thats coo what you are doing i would pay 500 dollars for my fishes!

[bonesawthegreat]

thats awesome you got your fish back

[SpinelessScales]

I respect this owner. He's doing the right thing. Just because the pet you own turns out to be invasive in your state doesn't mean it's going to break out and wreak havoc.

[devilmaycry1976]

They are not haluan, just like in the philippines. They are northern snakehead, haluan is a mudifsh not snakehead but belong to the family of snakeheads

[johnnuico]

That fish tastes good, especially with coconut milk and ginger! I don't believe you guys value those as pets. In my country we eat them. For $500.00, you can have a truck load of Snakeheads or "Haluan" as we call them here.

[evildeeds84]

@johnnuico yh but i betur from sum shithole where eatin ur dog is ok! 3rd world country got internet now! wow

[elsjoshua]

SAVE ROCKY !!!

[BDxCrazyazian]

he's praising his snakehead until that thing breaks that tank and causes him some problems

[bonesawthegreat]

are you retarded??

[BDxCrazyazian]

no im not dumbass... there have been cases of these snakeheads breaking their tanks

[bonesawthegreat]

oh and then what??? do they take the car keys and find a river tojump in????? fucking moronic clown you are pal

[BDxCrazyazian]

dude... your an idiot... i just said there have been cases of snakeheads breaking tanks you dip-shit

[bonesawthegreat]

bud......you are slow

[BDxCrazyazian]

if im slow then you're just a frozen piece of shit

[bonesawthegreat]

whatever you say forrest

[BDxCrazyazian]

if you want to call me forrest than so be it. I don't mind being called forrest because in the end, forrest ended up being a millionaire. So all in all, thanks for that compliment you fucking froze piece of shit on the road.
