Snakehead- non native but they are breeding in the states. Guys fish for them like bass. Supposed to be real tackle busters.

Invasive species !

Looks like a Bullseye Snakehead to be specific... there's a breeding population in South Florida, and an article on exoctic invasives in last months In-Fisherman!

That article you're referring to was very interesting. I had no idea that species such as peacock bass have established sustaining populations in Florida. And those clown knifefish look like a wild battle.

had an african snakehead for a couple of years. extremely aggressive fish. fun to watch at feeding time.

 

he was getting close to 30 in. long and pretty thick. i walked past the tank one day and for no reason , he

 

went wild. the 90 gallon tank was shattered by his head {nice gash} ,,water everywhere . what a mess.

 

got a net and fished him out of the broken tank but he chewed thru that on the way to the bathtub. now i'm

 

trying to grab this thing with bare hands . finally got it into my biggest cooler and took it to big al's aquarium .

 

they offered me some other things on trade .. i declined ,, i was just happy it was over.

 

you can't purchase them in ontario anymore ,, by law ,, they are banned.
