    Re: Snakeheads!!

    First, you need to know which species you wish to acquire, and whether you are capable of providing the tank size relative to the eventual adult size of that species you wish to keep. For example the Toman, which can grow extremely large and be very aggressive. So research first on the species, and then decide.

    Dwarf snakeheads are easier to keep. You can feed them with carnivore pellets IF they get accustomed to that type of food. I would not feed them with live feeder fishes if given a choice, because they can get sick easily from diseased feeders. I would suggest breeding some platies or guppies, and feeding the culls to the snakeheads. Or bettas if you have too many to get rid of.

    Their tanks must ALWAYS be covered. All gaps, holes, and ways of escape must be covered, or you might find your snakehead on the floor, dead, dusty and dried up. They are excellent jumpers, and escape artists. Do not think about keeping any other fish with them. Because anything that fits in their mouth is considered food, and anything that doesn't fit are usually bullied, or bitten in an attempt to swallow them.
    Fish.. Simply Irresistable
    Back to Killies... slowly.

    hullo!

    kept a few snakeheads.
    pretty picky eaters, they took a long time to be weaned onto pellets
    i suggest frozen food to bridge the gap between live and pelleted food

    keep them with similar sized fishes, naturally, as they are carnivorous.
    the dwarves are very pretty, but most of them lose their brilliant colors as they mature.

    otherwise, stormhawk covered most =)
