Snakeheads

Some idiot got a pair of them for medicl reasons, but he didnt need them after all so he put them in a pond. well luck has it they were a male/female pair and the spawned and eat everything in the pond. then they moved out of that one into different water sources. now were stuck them in a few areas. They are now illegal in the US so i wouldnt trust a place of they were getting them. So if you find one in the wild anywhere here in he US, do us a favor and kill it. They are becoming majotr problems and eating all the natives and clearing out lakes and ponds, leaving fishers nothing to catch..which sucks for me!!
its not really the medical reason that caused the big out breaks, the chinese use snakeheads in tons of herbal remedies and such, they were buying them and shipping them here live and throwing them in a pond until they needed them, well snakeheads can walk so they just got up and left and have now spread all over the east coast destroying the eco system
Not true, some snakeheads escaped into nearby tributarys and it has become a real problem. They thought the chemical did the trick, until they started popping up in other locations around Maryland. And it is becoming a real issue, by the way, the ecosytem in that pond was destroyed by the chemicals that were put in it, and the snakehead are taking over.
that was only one small incident zimmer, they are established and breeding all along the south east coast, often times you real in fish and by the time you get them theres only half a fish left because a snakehead got it when it was tired out, it was not just the 1 incident in maryland, its a widespread problem
