Look through the "Other Monster Fish" section, I saw a post not long ago with most states in it and the ban. Can't find it now...
You can also fit Bleheri (rainbow) in that 75g, which will grow to approx. 8" max.

and its not cool at allJust posted this in a Dwarf snakehead thread but here it is again:
Dwaft snakeheads grow to about 15-20 cm max Try something like a Channa Bleheri (20cm max)or Channa Gachua (15cm max)not as aggressive as their the big boys, but tankmates should be quite big as cant fit in the mouth.
Cant believe there banned
