Ok well im new to this forum so hello to everybody. When i was younger my family had many awesome fish 3 redline snakeheads a large pacu and like an 8" jack dempsey. Just redid the tank and want to put a new monster in there like a Snakehead again. They were just the most personable exciting/crazy fish ive ever watched... and ferocious during feeding time. I live in NY, USA and i know that they are illegal but is there anyway of obtaining one b/c i had it just like 6 years ago :irked: and want another. If it is IMPOSSIBLE to obtain can you guys recommend me to something of similar characteristics. Thanks, Tom.
 
They are impossible to buy, and against forum rules to inquire about such. You may want to look at pikes, and bowfin if you have the space they require.
 
Really? against the rules oh ok well i guess ive been outta the loop for a few years ever since i got rid of them... i think im gonna see if chinatown has one lol.
 
If you have a huge tank it will....Take a looksy around this site...WE have monsters...
 
Yea i looked and i heard first that ATF were legal in NY, secondly i dont plan on getting the G ATF just a smaller species maybe the one that beings with a V... i cant remember the name but it will probably a solo fish in a 55g so i think it can work?
 
That will not work.....You could get a Red Devil....
 
Not to come off naive but why wouldn't it work? The fish grows way too fast? I did find a lil bit if info stating that some species of ATF top out around a foot or so?
 
a 55 is only a foot wide....they need more room. Even the Red Devil will need more room in a few years...
 
If the fish needs a larger tank i will just set up a larger tank in the future but if i plan on buying this fish its going to be a smaller one so in a few years i can put it in a larger tank.
