snakehead! go! go! go!
i know nothing about breeding them though. I heard they pair up for life. So you gotta get a loving pair.

i have herd that the snakeheads mature at about two years of age i myself have three at 26" long and amazing enuff they still get along very well . i'm in the prosess of building a 500 gallon tank in my garage to give these guys a bigger house as they really need it . i myself dont know alot about them but they do eat alot and just about anything . there isnt alot of info on these guys out there but from my experiance they grow faster then any other fish i have ever kept.
