I made the mistake of buying a red snakehead several years back. I was experienced with big cichlids, I figured I could manage it. I kept it for a little over two years, it got not only huge, but splashed water everywhere, broke glass tops, and was a menace to my household. After keeping it in a tank with plywood and cinder blocks on top for long enough to give up, I gave it to a buddy who had made a large tank. He called me back after another year or two begging me to find it a home or he was going to have to put it in the freezer. I doubted that would kill it.
