duckweed, Snakehead's NEED plant cover other wise it'll beat its brains in trying to jump out,
Any floating cover will work i use duckweed because it grows like mad blanket's the surface but is small enogh for them to easily swim through to breath if they wish

thanks heaps are there any other fast growing plants like reeds an stuff that i should put in his tank and should they be low light plants aswell so i dont have to have light on.finding information on snakeheads hard on the net an even harder in my country
the sudden change from dark to light and vice versa can shock fish, you could try not switching on lights in a dark room and when turning off the light leave the room light on until the tank lights have been off a few seconds to reduce this.
i cant get the duckweed to stay alive with no light on how do u get it to grow with out plant light or tank in sun light path
