Golden Cobra Snakehead, Red Snakehead, Dwarf Snakehead, Emperor Snakehead, Rainbow Snakehead, Splendid Snakehead, African Snakehead, etc. Once hatched, the fry swim in tight schools. Once spawning occurs, the parents will zealously guard the eggs and fry. However, sexing snakeheads can sometimes be difficult and it is best to raise a fairly large group of snakeheads in a large aquarium to let the fish pair up by themselves. Snakeheads aren’t a difficult species of fish to breed and will spawn quite readily when given adequate water and tank conditions. ![]() Snakeheads get their name from their flattened shape and the scales on their head which are similar to those of most snakes. Snakeheads can be fed on a diet of fish, shrimp, mussels, earthworms, crickets and pellet based aquarium foods. They can however be trained to accept most types of frozen and dead foods. Snakeheads are fierce carnivores and prefer live foods. A few peaceful species of snakeheads can be kept with large species of catfish and fairly peaceful cichlids. Snakeheads are fierce predators and should not be kept with species of fish smaller than them. Snakeheads also prefer aquariums with plenty of plant cover and hiding places. They are also extremely powerful fish and can easily knock over aquarium decorations. Snakeheads aren’t prolific swimmers but are capable of swift bursts of acceleration. They are also extremely powerful jumpers and their aquariums should be covered with heavy, tight fitting lids. This ability to breathe surface air enables snakeheads to survive in sometimes trying water conditions with extremely low oxygen content. Snakeheads are also able to breathe surface air and should be kept in aquariums with plenty of surface space. They can be kept in groups provided that the aquarium or pond is large enough for each fish to mark out its own territory. Adult snakeheads are extremely territorial and should only be kept in pairs or by themselves. Therefore it is important to keep snakeheads in extremely large aquariums. While some of the smaller species of snakehead only grow up to a foot or two, some of the largest species can easily push a meter in length. The first reference below has an illustration showing the different fin arrangements in the two animals.Snakeheads are an extremely large growing species of fish and should only be kept by experienced aquarists able to keep up with their demanding nature. The bowfin fish ( Amia calva) is native to North America and has a somewhat similar fin arrangement, but its anal fin is much shorter than a snakehead's and its pelvic fins are located further away from the pectoral ones. A caudal (tail) fin is located at the end of the body. The anal fin is located on the undersurface towards the rear of the animal and is generally about two thirds of the length of the dorsal fin. The pelvic fins are located on the undersurface almost directly below the pectoral fins. The pectoral fins are located on their sides behind their head. The fish have a long dorsal fin on their back, as shown above. It's one method used to identify invasive snakeheads in North America. Fin placement and appearance is the same in all of the species, however. Different species exhibit different color patterns. ![]() Snakehead fish license#Brett Billings, USFWS, via Wikimedia Commons, public domain license Identifying a Snakehead Fish ![]()
