Hi bros..sistas...

Last night was really a painful time for me....for the longest time, I was searching for a short body monster giant Snake Head and finally I found ONE!!

BUT! I went home, wanted to put this big bugger into one of my giant tank and found it belly up! I really kicked myself as I think the death of this monster beauty was that it was in the fish bag (a little to small for it anyway) for too long! This fish was bought from a Snake Head farm and it was not packed in its proper bag.

But thinking SH are tough buggers, I sort of let it dwell in that bag for about 3 hrs and already its dead!!!

Here are some pics, just for the remembrance of this rare Short Body giant:

I feel like jumping anytime now.... :( DO NOT LEAVE FISHES IN FISH BAGS TOO LONG...EVEN IF THEY ARE MONSTERS!
 
sorry to hear about your snakehead, it kinda looks like a cute little pengiun in the first picture.
 
I did that once with an eel.... I thought it had a bag life of hours as that is what I was told.... and apparently that was wrong b/c it died and I was far from home =( That really sux though sorry bout your loss :(
 
sorry to here that. any chance you can get another. depending on how much it was i would try again
 
Man....and they are supposed to be able to live on land for days......I wouldnt have thought twice about it either bro...sorry about your loss.
