I finally tracked down a snakehead!! Im so happy I beat the import/selling ban that's going to come to bc in the next month or 2, I called ever fish shop I could find and acted like a rash that would not go away lol, until one guy finally called me up and said he found me a baby micropeltis or some Gachua's if im interested, and OH yes I was very interested, so I picked the micropeltis. he ordered in 2, but I only wanted 1. The Micropeltis is one I really wanted, that or a couple aurantimaculata, but they are hard to find here apparently. still looking but I don't think ill ever find one locally, and now I got this guy im not really interested anymore, maybe one day. I got this guy in with my gold fish, fire eel, scromb payara and a blue lobster and some rosies, its a 75 gallon I believe, I think I might spend $500 and pick up a 150g setup out of kijiji or craigslist in the next few weeks, or wait till another 220 pops up and pick that up which is what im thinking, I got a few months until I need the space so ill just keep my eyes peeled. I plan to build a huge plywood tank when I finally buy a home after I leave BC and go to alberta with my new welding tickets. which is why I chose the micropeltis, a huge impressive fish in a huge tank is what I have always wanted and now its all coming together 
If this guy turns out to be half as impressive as some of the members fish here, im going to be so happy! thanks for looking everyone. before anyone askes, the gold fish were food for my Oscar I no longer have, and the rosies were for the payara which is not eating at all from what I can tell, I think I might lose him to be honest. but I did get 15 rosies yesterday I seen the snakehead grab 1 as soon as they hit the water, and this morning I notice there is only 10 now, so unless the snakehead managed to eat another 4 last night, then the payara must have grabbed a few, my fire eels don't eat nothing but bloodworms and the the lobster, well im not sure what hes eating, I put bloodworms into his fav tube he chills in all the time but never actually seen it eat. I sure hope this payara don't decide to eat this snakehead while its still food size. ill just keep plenty of these rosies in there all the time.
