Probably the Poly section
i mean really whats the dif, other then the fact they have no relation whatsoever, and are from seperate continents, or used to be:cry:. but they both breath atmospheric oxygen, both look similar, heck in the wild its hard to tell the dif now in florida:irked:. and from what i hear are both super aggresive. so whats the reason behind keeping a snakehead if you can keep a bowfin? any replies welcome just curious.:confused:
 
Snakeheads get bigger faster, have many different species to choose from, and were much easier to get ahold of than bowfins when they were legal.
 
ya i guess there are more species and some look better but now the new snakehead is the BOWFIN!!!
 
imo, i've kept both, bowfins are just really hard to get a hold of.
that's one of the only reasons that snakeheads are more popular. Aside from the fact that there are multiple species of channa to choose from.
 
One reason: Channa sp. Assam. That is the species I want. It is beautiful, stays small and lives practically forever! Bowfin are amazing, but so limiting!
