Channa are by far my favorite specie and it sucks that idiots released them and caused the ban

Snakeheads are an invasive species that forrage on the game fish and other desireable species that are indigenous to the watershed they have invaded.

They do look cool, but are in the category of zebra mussels and lamprey eels. They need to be dealt with in a responsible way.

Mark, for the longest time I've kept Channa species and most are very aggressive and have to be housed in a tank by them self. What they can't eat they kill anyway.

There are many species that could not survive in the US but Feds banned the whole genus.
