pikes and snakeheads

[geeah]

just wondering wat the differences are between these 2. THey seem so similar to me besides SH get bigger and are moe agressive and can breath air. Sorry if its a dumb post haha.

they are not remotely similar, not even vaguely related. A snakehead is a potentially 4 foot extreme predator with teeth, a pike cichlid is just a long cichlid.

Here are the differences

The man has a point they do look very similar but you are right are not related whatsoever...

 

[rumblesushi]

you could say any long fish looks similar. I would say a lungfish or a bichir looks more similar to a snakehead. I honestly don't see the similarity.

Oh and driftwood - they are pure evil. I've owned 2 snakeheads and they are hands down, no contest, the most evil and aggressive fish I've owned. Ruthless killers.

Both are Predatory in nature, SHs get bigger an are alot harder to come by. Pikes can be found in most LFS, an theres the obvious body an looks Differences.
