I got a packet of 10 Channa micropeltes about the same size as the video shown for S$2 which is about US$1.60. Which means 16 (US) cents per fish. These snakeheads (this particular species) are cheap in Asia because they are readily available for human consumption (those 30cm and above). Someone asked if they are delicious. YES!!
@jam4987u987 As of the state of Maryland it is illegal to purchase or own a snake-head because they have been released in the wild and are causing problems with the ecosystem. For this reason it is now classified as an invasive species. Just check with your local law enforcement or DNR and you should have all your answers answered correctly and it would be up to date information. Try an oscar arowana pacu or pirannah. i prefer the oscar and arowana.
@bebay29 Is it true that Snakeheads are now illegal to own in the US? In 1992 in NJ I owned a snakehead. It was all of the as described. I remember it being a beautiful exciting fish to watch. It had a lot of energy and a gluttonous appetite.
So are they illegal now? Can you get them with some kind of permit?

If they taste good, we should farm them to eat.
