Just to reinforce what others have said. Not only illegal, but nasty fish that make terrible aquarium fish. You really don't want one.

Just so you know, in many states the snakehead is illegal to possess. You probably don't want one in your aquarium.

It's the genus name for a snakehead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channa
Big, nasty critters that bite, eat tons, outgrow fishtanks, get released into the wild and cause all sorts of problems!
