ive already had bowfin they are close but no cigar. i have a pic of a lil bowfin on my gallery. and there is a lot more than just a handfull of hobbyist who would like to have the snakehead species again even if it wasnt the red line species. id settle for a cobra if they were to make them legal again
how do u go from prob the badest fresh water fish alive to fancy plecos not making fun of u or ne thing just saying i went from that to trying to replace or find a fish that is close to a snakehead with no such luck but never even put thought into plecos. also did dnr just find out u had it or did u call them and have them come get it.Allan01230;3850031; said:Yeah I had one years ago then the DNR took it away.

Alot of plecos get huge and IMO, fancy ones are pretty /V\onster.
I meant that the authorities see this as a case of a handful of fishkeepers wanting to have snakeheads as pets,no matter how many of us wants to be able to have them,it wont sway the decision of the authorities.They have decided that the fish is a threat to our native waters and that's that.
