That's not the type of thing you should say on a public forum. Owning snakeheads in the US is prohibited, for the reason mentionned above. It's a severe penalty if you get caught, you can ask around people know more about this law than me...

I am fortunate enough to live in Canada, where it's perfectly legal for me to own my pair of Channa Pleurophtalma

i have read that they have had almost no impact on the native fish populations so far.

Channa did overrun a small Crofton MD. pond, thanks to a local idiot trying to raise
his own toman azin soup. I recall there was other fish still in the pond..

All the rest of the urban ledgens you here is BS .
