thanks bud yeah still starving him for 2 weeks and he did not eat anything now my prob is my snakehead is not healthy anymore accdg to his width..weight and his color :( now its time to fed him?

yeah, i would try to feed him now.

btw, if he isn't too shy you can take long tweezers and pinch a piece of say.. thawed shrimp then hold it in the water in front of his nose. Hopefully when you dangle it in front of him he'll take it. I find this to be the best method if they aren't too shy.
 
i havnt seen a snakehead who wot eat shrimp... so thats a good spot to start, i've had "shy snakeheads" who woudt eat right away, but if i leave shrimp chopped up sitting in the tank they always have it cleand up over night
