My giant snakehead jumped out of the tank while I was at work, I put him back into the tank. Not sure how long he was out but he is dirty and took a hard fall. What should I do? I haven't added anything to the tank cause I know snakeheads don't do well with chemicals. I had a wood top and 2 very heavy rocks on top and he smashed through it somehow! hope he will be okay hes swimming but you can tell hes hurting some
 
I got chu Dude just called than wrote on FB lol
 
Just keeping the water clean and let it heal on it's own is the best solution. I've had it happen with a few of my snakeheads and they have always recovered.

You had the right initial reaction don't add meds or salt , snakeheads don't like either. Just keep the water clean and maybe dim lights to help reduce stress and wait it out. They heal remarkably fast.

Snakeheads need a VERY secure lid they are escape artists and the Micros have alot of power to back that up!
 
I have a question. Where can I get a snakehead? I am aware that they are illegal in some states and very hard to get a hold of. I've had many different types of fish and want to try something new, so I would love to know where to buy one online. Thank you.

you are incorrect. they are illegal in all states of the U.S.

It's a little piggy!
 
lol could be. or just a moron. wonder if he goes to the local walgreens and asks everyone if they know where he can buy oxys too

Well considering he only has 4 posts and they're all identical, I'd say he's not legit one way or another...
