Why is everyone (including me) suddenly buying and keeping snakeheads?!! First arowana craze, then flowerhorn (and blood parrot) craze, now what? Snakeheads?! Anyway I like snakeheads.....
 
i like channa because they look cool; their formidable-looking bodyshape and predatory nature does it for me. I don't think this is a period of particular channa craze though... been on fish forums for 2 years and they've always been ultra-desirable.

They got to be a "Hotter" item when they banned the sale and ownership of
snakeheads. Human nature. Other than that, monsterkeepers have always had
an affinity for channas because of their aggressive nature and voracious appetite.
