Now THAT'S a headline! :Graucho

Shame about the story...

yeah snakeheads are alien as in not native to that area, not extra terrestrial

they eat anything, you can get them at most pet stores they will eat feeder goldfish etc

basically a swimming mouth and they will eat anything that can fit

i've seen them swim around for ages with a tail hanging out of their mouth when they eat a fish that is too big.. .

Anyone ever see fish wrestling? :Graucho :Graucho :Graucho

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 :1orglaugh

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 saw that on the news too.....lol...dude looked like he lived in a shack made of recycled Barn wood.

How did it double post 31 minutes apart?

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.

Let's send some large mouth bass over there and see how they like it. Ever see those sonsabitches suck up smaller fish?

Snakeheads would eat all but the biggest bucket mouths - you'd have to put a 10 pound bass in there, and then keep your fingers crossed.

Don't take this lightly, this is much worse than that fucking mussel that invaded the Great Lakes/Erie Canal Waterway

came across this update: snakeheads to be poisoned

looks like they are gonna poison the lake

Yeah, but are they TASTY?!?!?

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

Damn ... I was hoping to read some NETPOND dirt here ... LOL :1orglaugh

Now THAT is a hardy breed of fish! A carnivorous fish that loves to eat and walks on land for THREE DAYS.

Damn, man... now that's a fish.

Lungfish do the same thing as well.

Millions of years ago "walking" fish evolved into amphibians

My preacher says you are going straight to hell for talking like that !!!!! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
