Thanks. Also I would like to add that there has been an increase in the number of snakeheads in local waters. this is causing quite a commotion. this is another reason I was interested in raising one, just to study the fish.
If I can ask, where did you aquire the fish. I have been raising pirahnas for many years now and I would like to set up a large aquarium for a snake head. thanks..
@drokell I'm from the UK where Snakheads are legal to keep. If you're in the US, most states don't allow them because they can survive in the natural waterways and eat everything! If you've already kept piranhas, then maybe you would be able to keep them...
@loudause Do u noe whether singapore sells it? I'm from singapore and i so far only seen rainbow snakeheads and Giant snakeheads for sale.... Thx alot
@loudause as of October 4, 2002 the import or interstate transport of 28 species of live snakehead fish or their eggs is illegal anywhere in the United States
@dEsSiCaTa - this special gets to be 8 inches so he's not far off fully grown now. technically classed under the dwarf snakeheads, which are much more manageable (but don't like eachother much!)
@damafiafz - they are obligate air breathers, which is an evolutionary adaptation to living in oxygen deprived pools in Asia. They still use their gills, but only for carbon dioxide excretion.
glad you have all liked the video. he still lives on my desk, and hasn't grown in about 6months.
@damafiafz Yeah shoyld be fine mate Snakeheads should be kept in well planted tanks so the plants alone will keep the oxygen levels up. Also look into buying some Water Lettis does a amazing job of keeping your Nitrates in check.
