Snakeheads are illegal in America aren't they?

I'm asking because I found one today at this little run down pet store nearby. It was kept at about 4" long in a 10 gallon tank with a mess of catfish and other random fish. It didn't seem like it was being very well taken care of so I decided to buy it even with the thought of it being against the law or something in the back of my mind.

The store owner sold it to me for 8 bucks. He didn't know what it was however and said it was accidentally shipped to them with other fish ordered from South America.

There are about 30-35 species of snakeheads There are two genera, Channa in Asia, and Parachanna in Africa the picture you have put up is of The Red snakehead, Channa micropeltes this get huge and very aggressive.

South American ??? at the moment i can only think of Lungfish but that is a cichlid(pike cichlid)
