barramundi and snakehead

I dont know much about snakeheads as they are illegal here except that the only one big enough not to get eaten by an adult barra is a red snakehead which if it wasnt eaten by the barra would probably attempt to eat or kill the barramundi which arent as tough as cichlids or other sorta similar shaped fish so no probs not the best idea. Because its such a big tank you may get lucky if you have lots of stuff to break up the lines of sight in the tank but its pretty risky.

Im thinkin about making a 500 gallon tank and just stocking it with 2 MONSTER fish
my idea was to get a giant snakehead and a barramundi. I just have no clue if those two species could live together. if they were both around the same size would they bother eachother?

The Snakehead will chew up the Barra. Its that ferocious, and powerful too. The Barra wouldn't stand a chance.
