these are Chinese snakeheads - so the fuckers can live thru winter. That's what is bad - normally tropical fish just die the fuck off once the summer is over, they can't handle an ice over. These freaks will wind up destroying our natural fish population if they can spread.
I had a Red-Line snakehead, a warm water verion of this fish. I'm not kidding, this bastard was an eating machine. It has a very fast metabolism, so it grows to a large size very quickly, and it needs to eat 24/7. Mine jumped out of my tank while I was at work one day, and it had grown over 16 inches long in about 6 weeks. I have heard of snakeheads growing to over 4 feet in length - that is about the size of a Muskie - so they can eat damn near anything in North American fresh water systems (even Pete The Fly's poodle if he lets it go swimming)
The only fish I ever kept that ate more than the snakehead was a BumbleBee grouper - and they grow up to menace scuba divers who repair oil rig platforms.
