My Snakehead feeding video and progress.

This is Rocket, he is a Channa Diplogramma. Justa baby ATM at 6", should hit 2ft and be as fat as a man's forearm soon.
Love this guy.

Cool fish. Could never get one around here.

What were you feeding it?

Thanks. Yeah, all snakeheads are banned in every state of the USA unfortunately.
He is on frozen mussels and frozen silversides ATM, growing pretty well.

I love snakeheads!! I had one years ago, probably around 2002 sometime I had a buddy getting rid of it. I ended up keeping him for years. He was an awesome fish. If I had to venture a guess he was probably 18-20" and about the diameter of an adult King snake.

Probably one of the coolest fish I ever kept. I had piranha, a fresh water ray, a needle-nose gar, a small mouth bass, as well as the more common Oscars, Dempseys, terrors, etc...

Wooow so cool. Love them.

As said above. No dice here in the US

But man I wish!!

He going in my lounge in my 1100 litre asap:-)

I know they don't compare, but I've tried to satisfy my snakehead desires with a pike. Not the same, I know. But, they always seemed similar to me.

Wow, I'm sold...that's an awesome fish! Yours looks different (prettier, w/ stripes?) from the photos I've seen of "snakehead" fish getting all the bad publicity.
I guess I can understand the ban here in the U.S. though...it's unfortunate that people just cannot be trusted not to release invasive species. Thanks for
sharing- I really love how alert he is.

Very elegant fish....I had to have another look, lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGMQjbAUpHM

They do get pretty when big, some turn really blue...
Ime some wolf fish act alot like snakeheads, curupira, reds and even aimara can be very active species.
