are there any legal species of snakeheads(i'm guessing not because i've seen nothing on the subject). i know there are some species that only get around 8" but i'm not sure if there still illegal. thanks for any help or advice.
Legal snakeheads?

Unfortunately, Amia calva (bowfin) is the last surviving species of the Order Amiiformes.
All species of Family Channidae are a no-no in the US.
Maryland exempted the ban on a few small tropical species already within their state lines. However, the state-to-state trafficing of all snakeheads is a federal offense. This means that only those specimens already existing with MD at the time of the beginning of the ban are allowed. No new specimens may be shipped into the state.

I saw a River Monsters episode about a South American Wolf Fish. Looks similar to the Bowfin and Snakehead but i've never seen any for sale in England, but there could be a reason for that.
