I know that now you can't find a snakehead in any fish stores, :swear: but i've always wanted one, and now unfortunately frustrated that i can't find one anymore... any info on any way would help... ;) :naughty: ;)
Realistically, "grow up" and deal with it. Maybe get a career going in one of those fields in demand world wide and move to where they are legal (IIRC singapore is a fishkeepers dream... ) and common/cheap/native.
Or, you could always go to where they are being reported in the wild, and hope you get lucky enough to catch one. Then, hope you are lucky enough to not get caught with it. Or, cross the border and try to bring one in... of course, if you get caught, its Federal Pound You in the Arse Prison time...

when someone finds one let me know.. and if i find one i will do the same. but legally you are on your own.. dont rat out the ppl that help.
Channas are out there, but be prepared to pay the "black market" price. THEY are no longer $5 to $20.00. The price of the common ones range from $100 to $500, and the not so common ones go higher...Do you still really want to get them?

Breeding of snakeheads is illegal. So is selling them.... That goes for everywhere and everybody in the U.S..........But I still want one.
I had 2 of them abt 3 years ago .......But my oscars ate them the next day
