All my snakeheads are fed on pellets (as well as other things).
My 3 juvi Pleuros are in pellet training at the moment.

Getting SHs onto pellets is a very cost effective and healthy way to feed them.

Actually, they are C. marulius. There are plenty of them there. You can see youtube clips of people fishing for them there.
