are u crazy want to hand feed them!! :) i think they big enough to bite off ur finger. my suggestion is feed them with feeder fish first.
then when they reach about 10inch, train them to feed chicken fillet.

:banhim:
handfeeding them is great fun!!!
i have about 20 of them and theyre all handfeeding.
they all eat frozen shrimp already.
 
what you want to do with 20 of red snakehead? are u sure u want to keep all of them. its to many for me. where do put them? :)
 
good luck with those monster fren.

how do you train them to feet on prawn? its owesome.. :)
i had try to feed my red with dead food before but they dont even touch it. lol

i dunno.
they take it immediately when i tried.
maybe because there are so many so theyre not afraid to try new foods.
you should start form a young age.
oh,they normally dont hide at all.
but theyre very scared of the camera.:screwy:

they are so cute when they were still juvenile, it remind me of my red sh 2 years ago.
i think u should start collecting money to buy extra large aqua for them. :)
mine already 2 feet long and 4 feet aqua is too small for them. he2

i dont need to build one.
there is onepond downstairs which can hold maybe 4 of them otherwise theyll run out of food.
then theres a much much bigger one neably which can actually hold maybe 50 of them.
 
just wondering....if i can keep ne tankmates with my shnakeheads...im getting a bigger tank and wondering if i can put in sharks with the snakeheads....both are the same size..
the shop i brought the snakeheads frm,they were in the tank with koi!!!! some koi were smaller than them and some were bigger..!
