Like a give a %^*( about rivers in UK.

It is this kind of ill informed jumping on the bandwagon type response that has caused the US to ban the importation and in some states make it illegal to keep any species of snakehead, resulting in many responsible snakehead keepers to have to either turn their beloved pets over to be destroyed or keep their fish in secret with the risk of prosicution should anyone discover they still have their "killer fish". I wonder how many cat owners would stand up in defiance if domestic cats were suddenly made illegal due to the impact on wildlife caused by feral populations?
Dwarf snakeheads such as Channa gachua have very much the same kind of temperment as medium sized pike Cichlids and share much in common in terms of their care, i wonder if you would have jumped in here and informed me what monsters i was breeding had the title read "a swarm of pike Cichlids" and the fish in question had been my Saxatilis pikes?
