	Snakehead fish....
xxmrbui3blesxx Fish Master Posts: 1760 Kudos: 905 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Nov-2001	I just talked to my manager (owner) this morning and she told me about a horrible story about Seymore the Snakehead who once lived in a tank at the store I work at. To this day she is still upset about the government confiscating and killing Seymore without a warrant. This article just came out today. http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/cover/cover.html This link will probably just last for a day.

I do feel bad about what happened to seymore. He sounded like a really cool fish, and for him to be taken away and killed in such a swift motion really is a harsh outcome of all this.

I saw that....quite unfortunate. In a bit of odd coincidence, I saw the movie "Snakehead Terror" just a couple of days ago...just terrible. I am glad that all Channa sp. are quite legal here in Canada.
