what size POND do you have. Notice how i said pond with all caps

The fish will be bought with a 6x6x3ft- just to get it home initially
but i would be looking to buy a 10/12ft x6/8 x 3/4ft if i was to add the other fish

Haven't actually seen the fish but the seller says 3 to 3.5ft- so prob more like 3ft, as most people selling fish exaggerate the size lol
He mentioned he had 2 of the same fish but the fish for sale killed the other a year ago when it was 2.5ft and the other was larger!!!!
I have 3 giant snakeheads already in a 10ft tank- 1 @26" and 2@18" and they get on fine. but ive herd once they reach 30"+ they get really nasty?

If it killed the other one and has been alone all this time i dont think tankmates are a good idea

Yes i understand the concerns of adding other fish but im sure ive read that giant snakeheads wont tolerate the same species?
I have a 9" p.bass in my 10 ft tank with - 3 snakeheads 18-26", 26" alligator gar , 19" aimara wolf, 24" pacu ,26" arowana, 19" lince cat and nothing bothers it??
I know there is only one way to find out. dont want to loose the other fish tho.
