African snakehead Profile

The African snakehead, hailing from regions across Central and West Africa, is a unique species known for its elongated body and serpent-like appearance. Predominantly dark brown to black in color, this fish can exhibit a variety of shades and patterns depending on its specific habitat. Characterized by its large mouth and sleek, eel-like shape, the African snakehead is distinguishable from other species. Although it has a certain allure due to its unique appearance, it is not widely recognized within the aquarium hobby, primarily because of its aggressive nature and considerable size, which make it less suitable for the average home aquarium.
