Dude, a snakehead will usually decimate all other fish, especially it's own kind. They are beautiful but vicious. I could be wrong though...

Those are red snakeheads and they grow to around 1 meter in length!

The general oppinion i think, is that while they are fairly small, they can be kept with other fish of the same size, but when they grow into monsters they will pretty much eat and or kill other fish in the tank.

Anyway do a search here, there are plenty of info on red's.
