snakehead question
- Thread starter starter_flo
- Start date
i had a snakehead once but im not sure what that particuar variety is called..
some internet sites say it was a "red snakehead", im not really sure though..
well, it was 2 inches long when i bought it and it outgrew my 75gallon tank in less than a year.. 8 months i think
it just keeps on eating anything that i put in the tank.. anything that moves that is.. smaller fish, roaches, lizards, bugs...
i sold it because it nearly destroyed my aquarium.. it kept on banging the corners specially when its hunting the fishes i gave him to eat so the aquarium started leaking... no news about it now

But living in BC, Canada, they are legal
.Channa bleheri stay small, i believe around 8" adult size, very pretty as well.
I see them for sale periodically, but they may be hard to come across (especially in mission). Last time i saw them for sale was more than a year ago.
Absolutely correct :OT:
Now to get back to the question, they will outgrow a tank. Depending on which species, they can get pretty huge
