why is it so certain that they would disrupt the local ecosystem... maybe they could/would just merge their way in and adapt... you know, like humans can do when they move to another country. LOL. these wildlife guys are just racist against china, lol. j/k

Snakeheads will definitely disrupt the ecosystem. They're voracious eaters. If it fits in their mouth, they'll eat it. Even if it doesn't fit in their mouth, they'll try to eat it. 100 of them in a pond will cause havoc ecosystem-wise.

I think I've found a solution to Southwest Airline's "Overwieght Passenger" policy...
that happened not too far from my house...some bitch left them in a pond
abunch of people caught them, one guy on the news had his fish rolled up in a newspaper & in his fridge...i think the redneck fucker was going to eat him before he found out what it was
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.
Heh..after I read that on CNN I considered throwing one of them in our koi pond (they poop too much and I'm tired of cleaning the filter), but I'd shit if I saw it walking around in the backyard!

I dunno, it has done that to me before. That's why I hardly post, I usually just sit here and talk to my monitor. When I laugh at myself, that means it's time to close the browser and get back to work. My apologies in advance if this posts twice.
Yeah, what everyone else said. These things are eating machines and they have nasty personalities. If they get into a river or lake, you can write that ecosystem off. They should just poison this pond and stop them now.

well, if they do use that organic oxygen depleter, they can always have a bunch of guys patrol in rowboats and club these buggers when they surface to gulp air.
Persoanlly, I'd use some real nasty shit that would garuntee their death - lose one pond, save the ecosystem of the entire region
