They do have labyrinth organs but they are not anabantids. I looked into this myself sometime ago and found it not to be the case.

I do agree they are fantastic fish, I have moved from keeping CA Cichlids to Snakeheads and would never go back.


This is fascinating for years I have had them in the same family I have even got a book in the fish room “Aqualog All Labyrinths” with snakeheads in it but after you have mentioned this I have looked on the internet and like your self have found several people of your opinion have you got any site with hard evidence as would like to read up on it always willing to change my opinions but like to see it in black and white :thumbsup:
 
Ikhan - believe me I have owned both, if they were the same size a channa would destroy a vampire tetra. Unless it was a rainbow snakehead maybe, which are small and not so aggressive.

Vampire tetra are not as aggressive as they look, they are not brawlers and killers, they are just pure predators.

Like I said - someone on here actually had a red snakehead bite his vampire tetra in half.
 
about being an ugly fish. opinions vary about whats ugly lets not argue about each others opinions about that :WHOA:
