um...hate to be the bearer of bad news. But, all wolf fish are illegal in TX. The entire Family: Erythrinidae is on the TX restricted species list.

Snakeheads are super fish. They have been known to walk on land, breathe air, and even eat small pets and sometimes kids. As a matter of fact, they are more like amphibians than fish. Some have been known to even fly for short distances. In Asian villages, snakeheads are more feared than elephants, tigers, or other big creatures. It's not uncommon to hear about snakeheads killing entire small villages. They are at the top of the food chain, on land and water. The media lies because they only tell about half of what they can really do. Grab your guns, lock your doors, and keep an eye out for one of these ferocious, man eating machines. They are so feared in Asia, that the locals have a special name just for them. Asians call them "pets." I'm still trying to figure out what that word actually means in English.

:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL: man this one got me going haha but yeah for the people asking how much they cost there SHOULDNT be any prices on them since they are illegal but on craigslist i inquired about a few legal fish for sale and after texting the guy he tells me "i also have two snakeheads for sale for 400" he said he "came across them" sucks that its because of people like that, that had to ruin keeping these animals in the first place and what would you guys have done in that situation i was thinking about reporting him but i dont even know who i would report him to but anyways i hope whoever ends up with them is responible and had a tight lid so they dont fly away and start killing everyone hahah
