That is not what I am talking about. You claiming that snakeheads can wiping out the native fishes, yet it has never happened. It's all media hype.
You were talking about temps, and I wont copy and paste that I am sure you can go back and look at it, never happened because controlled and we have not see the factor of time yet. But looking at other places where species have been introduced we have seen the negative effect.
Cold water fish tend to be able to handle warm temperatures because even in cold water climates, the waters reach high seventies... If there's prolonged exposure to these high temperatures, their lifespan will be shortened, however, putting a tropical fish in cold waters would kill it much quicker... your argument makes no sense...
At first it may look like the snakehead will wipe everything out, but the ecosystem has a way of evening it out, yes there'll be less of the natives, but they won't be extinguished. And MN Rebel's point was that only a select few species could actually have a negative effect, so up north the more tropical species should be allowed to be kept...

well why did they show up at your door did you brag to the internet or to one of your friends and they snitch on you
after keeping the for along time, all it takes is one lil slip and they are all over you here in ca. i ONCE knew alot of people in the game, and most slip eventually. thats why i stay clear man! peacock bass ftw!
Almost all Paretroplus species in Madagascar are on the endangered list, and introduction of the snakehead and other exotics are a significant reason.
Thats how it works here, pretty silly really. Once the fish is here we can home it, so fish smuggling = across border fish is allowed risky business lol but thats how a lot of fish start here and the government hardly cares ELSE its an arow you need cite papers and a permit to keep one legally. Quite funny how it all works
Gaint Gs are good example, according to a LFS someone smuggled a pair over 5-8 years ago and breed them once they grew now we see GGs everywhere despite being on our banned list.
And yes Its all 1-3 peoples fault-stupidity that stuff it up for everyone else wanting to do the right thing, its recently happened here with dogs, too many dumb kids beg mummy for a pitbull dont look after it teach it to fight and in result they want to kill all the pitbulls which is sad as I know lots of people who keep them and are lovely dogs. very sad the things some people do with animals
