[Sarcosuchus]

lol that's me when looked at those pictures! What beautiful Tomans / Giant Snakeheads! *bows down* Especially the one in the first picture, great pattern and colouration, love the face too!

So these are the ones in Shah Alam? My cousin brother told me about the Tomans there, got to go and see! thanks a lot for sharing these pictures Yewjin and once again welcome to MFK!

Saved the pictures, magnificent! how old are they? 10 years? What about your personaly collection? I really thought these are until Vinson stated about Shah Alam...of course you can't have those in a 3 feet tank can ya! lol how big were those Tomans? Have you seen the ones in Ampang? Those were like 3 feet!

man, those are really whacked fishes! (in a good way!) though you really really have to pick their tankmates carefully (if you dare) coz it has the ability to kill almost any fish out there. hey, mine was able to massacre my gigacntic pleco! imagine those jaws ripping through the pleco's armored skin. but at the same time, i have managed to grow one with RTCs, knives, pacu oscars and a silver arowana... so.... perhaps it has to be luck of the draw! :/

Can you keep a giant sneakhead in a 55 gallon tank alone?

I don't know much about snakeheads, but Giant snakeheads get pretty big. I believe "GIANT" is the key word. If you plan to keep him in a 55gl for a grow out tank, Sure why not. Just know they are going to get big before you know it
