Okay I understand 100% that unless things change Snakeheads are illegal in the US....But are all snakeheads really "I will bite your hand" or is it just the Giant Snakehead....

Thank You for your knowledge Snakehead Keepers
 
Its very dependant on the species and the individual fish...
There are dwarf species that are extremly agressive and territorial too, but can`t really bite your hand :p

But i think we all agree that the channa micropeletes (Giant) are the most vicious, because of the size it can reach.
 
Hi,
Unfortunately The Micropeltes psychopathic tendancies are what have given the Whole family a very bad reputation.
Most Channa aggresion is between indivduals of the same species for territory or Sex rarely inter species unless provoked.Generally speaking if a fish is too big to swallow whole it'll be left alone.
Your average Cichlid has a more aggro temprament the most Channa.
 
^ true.. I'd say there are many cichlids that have about the same temper as a micro.. the micro just do much more damage..
