Description
The Northern Snakehead, often misidentified as a 'Green Wolffish', is a highly predatory, elongated freshwater fish known for its snake-like appearance and ability to breathe atmospheric air. It is an invasive species in many parts of the world, posing a significant threat to native ecosystems and is generally not recommended for home aquariums due to its size, aggression, and legal restrictions.
