Supos they had Snakeheads (African Pike), but when I showed up they were hepets Odoe (African Pike).
I wanted a new one, so I bought a baby at 4-5":D
I did not think you could get Snakeheads in the U.S

I wish I could find stuff like that around here. I can't even hardly get polypterus. Last time I asked about a h. odoe they had no clue what I was talking about. Good looking fish.

Last time I bought a 8" Odoe and in 48 hrs he scratched the hell out of all my tank mates. Took him back!
I figure since he is young I could hopefuly grow him to a peacefull one. Although my 8.25 Red Tail Payara is chasing him every here and there. My 9.5" spotted Gar don't mess with him, the pike actualy seems to try to school with him. As for "Sugar Ray" (my Motoro pup at 4") pays no mind to him. Probly cause they swim at diff levels of the tank.

Back on my way to a Tooth Tank :)
Now just to find another good looking VATF:D:D:D:D:D
