Snakehead

A snakehead fish found in Philadelphia in 2004.

UPDATE
Just to clarify so no one goes insane with anger, I photographed this snakehead at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. This is not owned by myself or any other private individual, so at least in the case of this guy, we are all safe from these "piscine carnivores" as BlueBerryPickn phrased it (quite beautifully, I might add)

@kanan72 that is actually a northern snakehead. giant snakeheads are black and white.

don't get caught with a live one in a home tank. they still havent figured out how they got here. you could be banned from ever owning pets again to fines to even jail time depending on what state you live in.
