I have never personaly owned a snakehead but is thinking about keeping a micro. jsut wondering if these fish have mutch of a peronality? do they interact with you, especialy when bigger? or do they just cruise around and do there own thing? was always curious, thanks.
do they have personality?

here are some opinions from sh owners- http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_snakehead.php
red / micros . are very owner interactive , this does decrease with age , but they do make a great "pet fish" BUT you have to give them the set-up they deserve or they will sulk a lot . if you can provide a 8-10 ft by 3 ft x 3ft or larger and set it up how they like then they will be very rewarding fish , if you cannot provide that sort of size tank just forget about a micro ,

i got 2 micros of 5-6" size. they always come to the fron to greet me when i come by the tank ... and will "shoot" at whatever is thrown into the tnak ...
i mean as they get older they slow down a lot , they will still perk up and come and see you when you go to the tank , but rarther than swim about madly like when younger then tend to sit on the floor for most of the time when older -i.e above the 3ft mark.
this is true for all snakeheads , there is only pleuro that stays active all there life

I only owned gachuas and obscuras, but to tell you the truth I see no personality in them at all. They just do their own thing, and hide most of the time, again i'm only speaking of what species I had. But I do love them for what they are, interesting fish indeed. When I tell people that channa have a breathing apparatus that allows them to breathe oxygen outside of water, they are more impressed with that then say, a simple goldfish. haha
