Lota Lota (Burbot),

I know it gets huge, but this is MFK. Would love to see good pics of one, google images sucks for this fish.

it would be very interesting fish to house, they look awesome. up where im from they grow huge how-ever. the world record burbot was actually caught an hour away from me at Lake Dieffenbaker Saskatchewan (also home of the world record Rainbow trout)

similar to a snakehead kinda looks like a mix inbetween snakehed and bichir

they are a species of cod. would need a big chiller for these guys...that's where the money comes in.

Somebody on NANFA did keep them....I cant remember who but somebody has before, and Kevins right its a big fish that needs lots of cool water, thats definately going to cost.
