Stomp for Wallago. Far more aggressive with more ferocious dentition.

More aggressive?
Not sure but everything else is true. You need a giant snakehead

I thought we agreed this was a good match?
In any case, I wouldn't call it a mismatch. Certainly the snakehead has the capacity to win? Maybe a minority but this isn't a peacock bass

More aggressive? Not sure but everything else is true. You need a giant snakehead Catfish of the Wallago genus are one of the few predatory fish I refuse to hand feed as a matter of principle. They are voracious-they take prey much larger than seems feasible (I've seen Wallago take small monitor lizards and attempt to take, albeit unsuccessfully, larger ones). The wallago is considered a Man-eater ( Actually an attribute of Wallago Leeri, which shares the agressiveness of W. Attu) and is greatly feared when encountered in the water. The snakehead is similar to the piranha in terms of consideration by locals-it's a food fish, despite the ferocious teeth and the fearsome reputation built up around it by the western world. A snakehead will run from a person 9/10. I wouldn't have the same reservations about Wallago. THe wallago outmatches the snakehead in terms of weaponry, agression, and speed. Against the Northern Snakehead the wallago stomps. C. Micropeltes is a better match IMHO. |

Yea, I heard of the agression of wallagos but I always thought northern snakeheads were very aggressive for snakeheads. Yea, wallago should win.

They will not go after similarly-sized conspecifics like Wallagos will. Even Giant Snakeheads aren't that aggressive, just predatory and defensive of young. |

Yea, I've heard of them attacking people while protecting their young but other than that, they seem to be regular foodfish, even giant ones.

Wallago themselves are incredibly fast strikers, it's one of their claims to fame. That is true. My point, however, is that the snakehead's own speed is one thing that does give it the chance to win sometimes |
