Snakehead's head
- Thread starter King-eL
- Start date
many thanks again mate , they are great
just to show why iam looking into them , not all snakeheads teeth are the same and upto now i have not found two species with identical teeth setup
just to show a couple , and why all snakeheads should not be tied with the same "huge teeth preditor" tag
sp five stripe = no teeth at all more like sandpaper pads (catfish like)
obscura has many rows on bottom jaw
but a crazy rear facing setup on top jaw
maruloides has only small teeth around the edge of the jaw top and bottom but the main front section is again sandpaper type pad setup
iam still collecting a lot of diferant fish and pictures of fish teeth so hopefully i can complile a full data base of the diferant types
cheers col

Wow those are great photos! That wa I thought about too, that every species of snakeheads have different position of their teeth. My channa lucius have larger teeth too. I wonder what's a giant snakehead teeth looks like.
whoa! maculata teeth... 
good project idea, tropheus. i can probably get aurantimaculata skull/teeth shot for you. lmk

If you got a dead snakehead, please don't let it get to waste and post their teeth here.
I wanna what other species of snakeheads have different set of teeth.
