I've just been told by the guy who was ordering the dwarf snakehead that he tried to order it today and was told they're illegal here in Scotland.. Is this correct? Our water is never even close to tropical temps and it freezes in winter so surely there would be no problems with releases? I hope he wasn't trying to order me the giant snakehead.. Either way, no snakehead for me, so would the AKF be ok with two senegals?
 
Snakeheads don´t comm well, with few exceptions.

And if you´re talking about Channa bleheri, C. andrao (formerly known as sp assam), "Flameback", "Fire and Ice", etc (most of the so-called dwarfs) they are subtropical and need a cooling period or end up dying, so they are not suitable to mix with tropical fish
 
The snakehead is out of the stocking now anyway but thanks for the info, i've ordered the AKF, two Senegal bichirs (one albino) and in a couple of weeks i'll be ordering three hujeta gars, hopefully that stocking will work out ok for me.
