get a new tank, hmmmm now you got me thinking, STOP IT

 

[cheesy feet]

There is definitely something about pleurophthalmas!

 

[england]

yes there is, my female has beefed up lovely now, i did have a male with her, suddenly one day it was gone, i think she killed it as they can be aggressive as females, and between her and the parachanna obscura i think they ate him, shame,but she is sexy, would not want to hand feed her mind, the way she attacks is at lightning speed..

Awesome.I've heard about their group hunting techniques.
Not a chance that it crawled out the tank?

 

[england]

there is no way as have the large lip all around and covered fully with glass, only gap is blocked, i have looked all around everywhere under sofa's and tv stand, nowhere to be seen, so thats all i can think, they were sparring two days before, but it was nothing to worry about,

Ahh I see.I watched a documentary of the giant snakeheads and they demonstrated how small gaps they could get through and how quickly and far they could move on land.

have you seen a snakehead leap from floating still in a container, watch this
imagine the muscles
