OH MY GAWD!!! I had two of them a LONG time ago...They were only about 10" when We got rid of them...you can read the story in another post...lol...I never imagined they got that big! We got them because we thought snakeheads were cool....Now we know better...Mean suckers!

Lol they certainly do, many buy the Giant Snakehead because they look so adorable as juveniles but just have no idea what they have trully gotten lol.

But you can see a Giant Snakehead's aggressiveness since an early age, mine would eat until their bellies were swollen and could no longer move, just like snakes do, especially phytons and anacondas. And when it begins to grow, that is when it shocks its owners making him realize what a fish it truly is, the top predator of the fresh water. They eventually sell it or just dump it in the lakes which isn't a good idea if the lake isn't where Snakeheads belong.

Most aquarium store owners advice the buyers who come to buy Snakeheads, especially the Giant Snakehead since it is the most largest and aggressive of all Channa species. Even those who know about it does not mean can take care of this vicious predator. My parents are a good example, my uncle who is my mother's older brother used to own a Giant Snakehead and so we all knew about this fish. But still my parents could not tolerate this fish and forced me to take them out. But as you can see, Giant Snakeheads are also beautiful, and they come in interesting colours and patterns, some are in golden colour or yellow, some in orange or brown, some are just black and gray in colour, and some in purplish, reddish, greenish or just a mix of all these colours.

nooooooooo! as a Giant Snakehead fan, that is such a sad sad news.

I have had an Arowana for five years before it died due to the dirty tank water, everyone was so busy and just before I wanted to clean it, I found it dead in the morning, and that was it, I lost my interest in having another fish since then. Asian Arowana is my second favourite fish. Now I am going back to Giant Snakeheads.....Giant Snakeheads being sold a feeders!

Yes, his Giant Snakehead looks great, I am looking forward to more of his Snakehead videos if he is going to take more. Below is another picture of his Giant Snakehead which was posted on the Piranha Fury forum. I am not sure if the picture is here.

That's right Rayman, an excellent one, how is your Giant Snakehead doing? How big is he/she now? Getting more videos?

They are obviously being put there and if you look at the first Giant Snakehead's pectoral fin, the way it has positioned it, you can see that it is using it to move or 'walk' as you can call it. They look so adorable. And below is one of my favourite Giant Snakehead pictures, beautiful they are!
