rocky that's strange - when fish are shipped they are bags overnight at least right? And most of them survive, so compared to that 3 hours is not a long time at all.

What do you think?

I am guessing the bag wasn't oxgyenated. That fish is massive and fish at that size don't do well in a small bag even if its only a few hours. I put fish in a bucket or bag thats oxygenated for 16 hours + and never had such problem.

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:

Sorry for your loss, good luck finding another one.

The short body is not only cool, but more practical for an aquarium.
Much easier to house a 2 foot fish than a 3 foot one.
 
did you do a post-mortem? the stomach looks bulging.
 
i remember when this happened, very sad.
