Hypothetically would they be able to live together? because they both super aggressive and both territorial. And if they were the same size which do you think would win

I wouldn't house them together, but hypothetically speaking, If you did the Snake Head would make light work of your cichlids
I was under the impression that Snakeheads were illegal in the US..
I know Florida has become overcrowded with these and some aquarists take them right from the wild, but I'm not completely sure thats safe...
Snakeheads are wildly aggressive and strong. They also get to be pretty large, (unless you get a dwarf) they get to be about 3ft, I would be worried about anything in a tank with a snakehead.
Alas, I do not have personal experience though, this is just from years of reading forums.
I will bump Oddball's questions though, and add; How big is the tank you plan on housing them in?

This dudes the biggest troll never take him seriously
All trolling aside, these guys are BIG - longer than 4'. Only fish I would put in there is a Bass, and in a 1000+ gallon tank.
They eat lizards, so cichlids are going to look like a snack. This species is also from Asia, although it has been acclimated to Florida, I would be hesitant to put any SA/CA cichlids in with it.

I hate all that "who do you think would win?"and " what cichlid is the biggest bad ass"talk.
I just don't get it.
I just don't get it.
How many times are you going to post about getting a SH after multiple times of being informed that they're illegal?
I'm starting to believe the 'troll' moniker you're being ID'd with. And, that's dangerous for you.
I recommend reading the restricted species lists in the Marketplace pinned articles AND the TOS of this site before you dig yourself into a hole you can't climb out of.
