timmeh Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterwolf Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) 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.
